Welcome Note

Hello prospective parents,

I would like to introduce our school to you and tell you a little bit about our vision which I and the rest of the team here are 100% committed to. The attainment of all our pupils in terms of high academic standards within a structured and disciplined environment is of paramount importance to us. As such, I take very seriously my role in leading the fantastic team of staff and children here to strive for excellence in all areas of school life and beyond. To achieve this, we aim to ensure that the progress of each child is constantly monitored – particularly during lessons, so that any gaps in their understanding are addressed there and then.

I believe that the development of foundational skills in reading, literacy and numeracy are essential for ensuring long-term academic capability. In reading, the teaching of systematic phonics has been proven to foster children’s reading skills and I have found this to be true in my own teaching experience which dates back many years. To this end, you can rest assured that your child will get the best start to reading as is possible. I am also passionate about helping children to secure key concepts in numeracy, at an early age, to provide them with the building blocks for more complex mathematical skills as they grow older.
