About the School
Parental Liaison / Reporting To Parents
Parents are encouraged to maintain a close relationship with school. The every-day contact, essential in the early years and infants, tends to decrease as pupils gain in independence. For this reason, teachers are in their classrooms and available to discuss your child's progress with you on the first Monday of every month. Formal parent / teacher open evenings take place in February / March. Comprehensive written reports are presented during June / July. Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any query or concern at any time.
Homework Policy
From the earliest days of nursery we encourage children to borrow story books and request that parents read with their children at home. This partnership between teachers and parents is valuable in promoting early literacy - an essential skill for later learning. Regular written homework, usually given once a week, increases through Key Stage 2. Again, we value parental involvement in this important aspect so that pupils develop the self discipline necessary for personal study.
Daily assemblies and classroom quiet times are an important part of the day. These offer pupils experiences of contemplation and prayer based on the Christian Faith. Biblical and moral readings, poetry, prayers and hymns are typical aspects of our school worship. Parents may exercise their right to withdraw children from R. E. and assemblies. Appropriate arrangements are made to teach any withdrawn pupils.
Achiever's Assemblies are held on Fridays when pupils' achievements of the week are celebrated. Parents and friends are welcome.
School uniform allows a considerable degree of choice allowing for formal or informal preference. School colours are navy and white with a navy and red tie. A comprehensive range of sweatshirts, polo shirts, trousers, skirts, cardigans are available to order from Mrs. Jan Bradley at the nursery. All proceeds to school funds.
Lunchtime meals are prepared and served on the premises. Payment is collected on Mondays please. Provision is made for children who bring a packed lunch. We are pleased for parents to select food that children need and will enjoy eating. Please do not send glass bottles. Infant children eat between 12 - 12.30p.m. supervised by two dinner ladies. Junior sitting is from 12.30 - 1.00p.m., again with two ladies supervising. The headteacher and a number of staff are also on duty during lunchtimes.
