Welcome

Welcome to our school

I am incredibly proud of our school family and love working in this community. Whilst having the advantages of a large school, I am constantly impressed by the small family feel in every classroom where every child is valued.

Our school motto: ‘We care, we learn, we succeed’ is at the heart of everything we do and this is reflected in our high achieving and happy school.

Our school has 14 mainstream classes and 2 specialist classes for children with autism (The Oaklands Centre).  Attainment has been consistently ‘good’ for the last five years. We have impressive facilities which include a cookery room, forest school, dedicated outdoor learning areas, trim trails and play areas, as well as extensive fields to enjoy throughout the year.

We have a highly skilled and committed team of staff who work with parents to strive for the very best for every child. We provide a broad curriculum with high expectations where everyone is encouraged and supported to achieve.

This website aims to give you a taster of the school, as well as providing up-to-date information for parents, pupils and the wider community. We hope you find the information you are looking for; please feel free to contact the school with any queries you may have.

SZAPP

SZapp is the system we use to communicate with our parents.

Parents receive notifications when new information is sent via the app and this is backed up with an email.  Parents can sign up to receive all the information but most just sign up for the classes their children are in.  This ensures that parents receive quick and up-to-date information relevant to their children and any events in school.

We send our newsletter via the app, which is our main source of information, including all of our diary dates.  In addition, parents can inform the school of their child’s absence via a ’tile’ on the home page. Term dates and lunch menus are also available at any time from the ‘tiles’ on this page.  We also have a dedicated tile for COVID information with links to guidance and forms where you can apply for family COVID test kits or report a positive test in the household.

The feed stores all the messages and information sent out and parents check this regularly or refer back to it as a reminder of current or recent events or communications.

Our parents also sign up for events via the app, which includes our school clubs, school discos and events and parent evenings.  We also send all information regarding school trips via the app and parents can complete the permission form for the trip via the app.  We also use the SZapp forms for any other activities that require parental permission. Parents can electronically sign the form, which saves time and paperwork.

ALL parents use the app, and it has proved to be a very effective method of communication and invaluable during the pandemic when contact was restrictive.

Please see the tab under School Life for more information on accessing SZapp.
