We want our children to gain the skills, confidence and character to make the best choices as they go through life and our curriculum and school day sets out to do just that.
Our children are polite and well behaved and want to do well. They have aspirations for themselves and are proud of our richly diverse school with 34 languages. New children, even those without English are soon smiling in the playground as they are welcomed as part of our community.
In addition to Teachers, Educators, Administrative Staff, Site and Support Staff, we have Learning Mentors and Lunchtime Coaches.
Staff are able to award ‘Golden Marshmallow’ certificates and Character cards in addition to ‘Stars of the Week’ and Headteacher awards.
As you enter our corridors, you will see the Earlham ‘Wall of Fame’ display which celebrates children for displays of positive character.
We all use a framework for assessment so Staff can track and plan for the pupil’s academic development.
We give regular reports to Parents. Our new Parent School Association is blossoming and planning events for the year.
In this past year (2015-16) our results demonstrate strong progress (In Early Years our Good Levels of Development were above National and at Keystage 1 our Combined Reading;Writing and Maths were above National and in Keystage 2, our Progress levels were all positive with Writing and Maths progress levels above National) and with all the class teachers this year having previously taught at Earlham Primary, there is an atmosphere of calm stability with taff knowing each child well.
The new Leadership team are working hard to ensure that every aspect of teaching and learning is meaningful and profound, giving children the best chance to make rapid progress.
We teach philosophy in the school and children are encouraged to debate and express their opinions whilst listening and even disagreeing constructively with others.
Our School is a place of learning, caring and character development and we look forward to a great year of success
