Mission
Statement
|
"The school
seeks to meet the needs of the pupils and to prepare them for life, by
helping them to achieve their full potential. The school will enable its
pupils to experience the full richness of childhood, both in the curriculum
and at play. The joy of words, the power of numbers and freedom of imagination,
will be at the heart of a partnership between the school and whoever cares
for the child. The school, as a caring community, will strive to teach
Christian values and beliefs both in the curriculum and by example."

School
Organisation
|
The
school is a voluntary controlled Infants day school with a Nursery Unit.
It takes children in the age range 3 to 7 years. The school is affiliated
to the Church of England, and we seek to present Christian values and ethics
as part of our school life. The building houses a main foyer, staffroom,
Headteacher's and school secretary's office, caretaker's store and kitchens.
The six classrooms are semi open plan with shared areas and a library. The
hall is used for assemblies, class lessons, parents' meetings and as a dining
hall at lunchtime. The nursery is part of the school building and offers
both morning and afternoon sessions. The Nursery and Reception class share
many of their facilities, including an outside, fenced play area. |

The
Grounds
|
The
school is surrounded by shrubberies and grassed areas. It has a playground
at the front, which provides an interesting play area for the children as
parents have worked to provide features such as concrete animals, a log
bridge and covered areas with seating. There is a large playing field in
the school grounds. A conservation area and pond have been created in the
grounds for the children to use under supervision. The pond is within a
secure, fenced area. |
The Curriculum
|
The
school's first objective is to ensure that the children are happy in school
so that they can learn effectively. We follow the government's recommendations
as regards the curriculum. We have recently implemented both the Literacy
Hour and the Daily Mathematics lesson. As a staff, we plan together, to
ensure that we are offering a balanced curriculum. |
