School Closure – January 2021 – Children at Home

Home Learning will be available, on the website, from Wednesday 6^th January for all children. Learning packs will be available for collection, to support online learning, early next week.

If your child is eligible for free school meals, you will be contacted individually by the school office.

Please keep an eye out for messages about collecting learning packs or food parcels.

Children in School

School is open for vulnerable children or the children of key workers who have booked a place. Children in school should wear our adapted school uniform. Lunches will continue to be provided as normal.

Family groups will be gathered in the school hall and dismissed from there at 3:15pm, as usual.

Y5 and Y6 children may continue to walk home alone.

Thank you for your continued support in these difficult times. Please stay safe and remember that school is open if you have any problems or questions.

Thank you

Headteachers Welcome

In our school we aim to create an inclusive, happy, stimulating learning environment, which allows equal opportunities for all, where our children will achieve their potential; intellectually, emotionally, physically and socially. 

We provide a structured approach to learning, following the guidelines set by the National Curriculum yet leaving room for personal development and creativity. Our learning programmes are designed to give our children a rich variety of enjoyable experiences through which their skills, abilities and attitudes can grow. 

In the long term our aim is for our children to become well-balanced, resilient, thinking adults, able to face the future confidently and independently. 

In educating a child we have to look at the whole person. We know that children learn best when they are secure and happy. How a child feels about him/herself is fundamental to their success in learning. Therefore, our aims encompass not only intellectual skills like reading, writing and mathematics but life skills like self-confidence and initiative, perseverance and co-operation. 

We usually look forward to showing new or prospective parents around school. At this moment in time this is not possible. We are very proud of the variety of experiences that are on offer to our children and some of these activities can be seen under 'Our School'. 

Please feel free to phone school to talk to me or one of my senior team.
