We encourage and value the partnership we have with parents. Learning is most
effective when we work together. Informal contact is daily and parents’ evenings
are planned to discuss progress and achievement. At the end of the academic
year, a written report is sent home. During the year, staff continuously assess
the children so they have a clear idea of progress, which enables new targets
to be set. This gives the children steps to improve their work. A combination
of teacher assessment and Standard Assessment Tests (SATs) in maths and
English measure progress in Years 2 and 6 and their achievements are shared with
parents. Children in Year 1 are tested on their phonic knowledge and the results
are reported to the government.
Sport contributes to a healthy lifestyle. It is important because it can provide
challenge and pleasure throughout life. Through sport, we aim to develop the
children’s perseverance, co-operation and fair play, as well as their ability to
cope with success and failure. Offers of coaching by professional team players
from local sports clubs are always welcome.

The Arts are important for the children’s cultural and spiritual development.
Children are given the opportunity to perform, through participation in
assemblies, dances, plays and concerts. Visits from artists, theatre groups and
musicians are positively encouraged.
We offer a wide range of activities which aim to develop the children’s skills,
team work and enjoyment. The Academy operates a before and after hours club,
that offers parents child care arrangements from 7:30am – 8:45am and
3:20pm – 6:00pm.
Homework is an important part of children’s learning, and we ask that you
encourage and support your child. Please take the time to listen to your child
read regularly.
