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 is important because it can provide challenge and pleasure throughout
life, and contributes to a healthy lifestyle. 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.

The Arts are important for the children’s cultural and spiritual development.
Children are given opportunities 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 & 3:15pm – 4:15pm.
Homework is an important part of the children’s learning,
and we ask that you encourage and support your children.
Homework is set each Wednesday and is handed in the
following Monday. Parents are expected to read with
their children each evening
