What the school offers its staff
We are a large four-form entry junior school. Each year group works as a team with a year leader who provides support for both curriculum and pastoral issues. Teamwork is a strength of the school at both year and subject level. We also have a fantastic inclusion and intervention team. The team, which includes a child and family worker, a learning support manager, a mentor/nurture assistant, behaviour lead and an intervention assistant targets support at special needs, underachievement and vulnerable children and offers a range of support to class teachers in meeting individual needs. We also have play leaders who support vulnerable children during the lunchtime period
We are committed to raising standards at an academic level and we are also committed to raising standards in children’s personal development – hence our vision statement. We want to be a successful happy school for children, staff, parents and governors. Initiatives to develop parent partnerships led by our deputy headteacher and assistant head, are having an impact on school improvement. We regularly ask parents for their opinions about various aspects of the school and act on their feedback.
We are a member of the Prosper Together MAT, and work together to promote school improvement and provide a range of extended services for pupils. Together we employ several staff and commission other services to provide additional opportunities for our pupils and further CPD for staff. Each school maintains its individual identity and control.
