Field End Junior School is a community school which has been at the heart of our local area for over 70 years. As a team we ensure that we are all working towards the same goal, to promote a life-long love for learning.
It is situated in an attractive area close to Roxbourne Park and is easily accessible by road, underground train or bus. The buildings offer bright and well-furnished classrooms. There are two spacious halls, shared use of the MUGA, cycle track, table tennis tables and a computer suite. We also have beautiful grounds that enable opportunities for outdoor learning. The school is well resourced. All classes have a whiteboard and visualiser. We have invested in Google Classroom and teachers all have a chromebook. Our library bus is parked on the playground and represents the school’s focus on the enjoyment of reading.
Everything we do is centred around the children and their right to be encouraged, to achieve, to find their talents, to enjoy learning and to succeed in whatever they choose. We strive to create an environment that allows children to explore the links between subjects and between prior and new knowledge. This identification of links prepares them for the next stage of their school life and into the workplace. Our children and families are proud of their school and enjoy their learning.
Pupils’ behaviour is good and we celebrate this through Class Dojos, headteacher awards and hot choc Fridays. Where children break the three Rs there is a clear behaviour policy in place overseen by the AHT Pastoral.
We aim to achieve the highest standards possible in a thriving multicultural learning environment. Our families come from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds and we learn about these throughout the year as an opportunity to celebrate the rich diversity in our school. One of the main strengths of our updated House system is giving pupils of all ages the opportunity to work together to a common goal whilst learning about key figures across different backgrounds: Malala, Rashford, Attenborough and Jackson.
Values - the Three Rs
Be respectful
Be responsible
Be ready
These three values underpin all the topics that are taught across the school and are interwoven into all areas of school life, from the classroom to the playground and the assembly hall to the staffroom. Within an ethos of support, challenge and encouragement to succeed, we develop confident individuals with high self-esteem and a positive attitude to learning and working together.
Our theme is for all staff and pupils to ‘Aim High’ in 2021.
