School Entrance
|
Welcome to our virtual tour.
We have changed rather a lot in recent years with major refurbishment and a substantial new extension to
our school building, and more recently a new mobile classroom. We are delighted to be now making full use of the
better facilities we have in school. |
|
School Grounds
|
We are very lucky to have been given a new field as
we have expanded. The school grounds are an excellent resource for the
school and are equipped with a storytellers corner, an environmental
area, a beech maze and a variety of outdoor play equipment. |
School Library
|
This area has recently
been redecorated, and it looks as nice as the new building. This area is
the centre of the school, and we access the hall and some of the
classrooms from here. There are on-line computers here for children to
use for information retrieval, and the library normally has a group of
children working in it.
|
School Hall
|
We have all our
assemblies in here. We do indoor PE here and we have our lunch
here as well! This is another area of the school that was recently
extended, and it has made a big difference to all our activities. We
also had lovely new fixed wall apparatus installed, as well as new PE
equipment. |
ICT
Suite |
In addition to
computers in all classrooms, we also have a dedicated Information
and Communications Technology (ICT) suite. This is run by Mrs
Leaver. We have a broadband wireless network throughout the school that allows
staff to access Internet and communicate with emails
using their notebook computers wherever they are. |
|
Robins Classroom (Reception)
|
This is the class for
Reception children. The children experience the full range of activities
supported by Miss Green, their teacher, and Mrs Page, a nursery nurse.
We do like to welcome parents into school and many provide excellent
help to all the teachers by working with children or by helping the
teachers with other tasks. There is also a private outdoor play
area outside the classroom.
|
|
Swifts Classroom (Year 1)
|
Past the reception area we move into Swifts. This
class of Year 1 children is taught by Mrs Arbuthnott, often supported by Mrs
Whitlock. Each class now has interactive whiteboards as well so the
teachers can provide a lot of new exciting resources for the children
throughout the school. |
|
Blackbirds Classroom (Year 2)
|
The
Blackbirds class is
accessed from the library area and is a class of Year 2
children. Their teacher is Mrs Bell, who works with Mrs Balchin. This class was
also redecorated and has everything new inside! Mrs Bell is using
the white board with her children in this picture. |
|
Kingfishers Classroom (Year 3)
|
Further
down the corridor from the library is the
Kingfishers class. This class of Year 3 children is taught by Miss Vasey
with Mrs Harbour and sometimes Mrs Balchin can be seen
here as well. |
|
Kestrels Classroom (Year 4)
|
In the class next door a group of Year 4 children are
taught by Mr Williams. This is the Kestrels class. Mrs Burrin also
works regularly in this class. |
|
Puffins Classroom (Year 5)
|
The newest class of all is
the Puffins and they have a newly decorated mobile classroom. It
looks just as nice inside as the classrooms in the school. They
are taught by Mrs Saunders and Miss Body with help from Mrs Loakes.
Mrs Robinson and Mrs Bennett also help in the Puffins. |
|
Eagles Classroom (Year 6)
|
The Eagles class has Year 6 pupils and they have Mr
Canavan as their teacher supported by Mrs Robinson and Mrs Page. They also
work in the library or the ICT suite as well. |
