We are proud to present the latest addition to school which will help keep our parents, guardians and children up to date on the latest happenings within school. Please feel free to have a look around and enjoy the new site!
Parents perceive the school as an extension of family and they participate fully in school life, for example attendance at Friday worship, the annual Nativity play and also classes and workshops. This has a positive impact on pupil well- being and learning
The focus on the school as a place of equality and inclusivity creates a pupil centred approach to decision making which ensures the progress and emotional well-being of all pupils, particularly the most vulnerable.
Through the core values of love, kindness and perseverance the school provides a nurturing environment in which children grow in confidence and develop a capacity for learning.
The positive relationships between all members of staff are an exemplary model to pupils who treat each other with courtesy and kindness. This creates a very inclusive community in which all children are valued as is evident in the warmth which children with special needs are supported by their peers and members of staff.
The reflection area in the hall enables pupils to appreciate where significant world events are happening and provides opportunities to think about their impact on the lives of others as exemplified by their support of local and international charities.
School leaders ensure that the resources are focussed on the needs of all pupils through a low pupil teacher ratio and the deployment of focused intervention. All pupils make considerable progress between their arrival and the end of key Stage 1.
The school is a ‘place of faith’ in which the distinctly Christian ethos fosters caring relationships……Similarities are emphasised and differences between the two faiths recognised.
These are some statements about our school from our SIAMS inspection in January 2017.
We have a very strong ethos of partnership. Our mission statement is simply "Working Together". We believe that staff, children, families and governors working togther will raise standards and bring success.
Our school values, which have been agreed by the staff and children, are displayed in classrooms and around school as a constant reminder of what we believe in and how we want to behave towards each other. We live by these values. They promote each child's social, moral, spiritual and cultural development.
All members of our staff work extremely hard to ensure every child experiences the feeling of success. Children are encouraged to aim for high standards in their work. Similarly members of staff aim for high standards of display and presentation. We work hard to create a positive learning environment.
Children are encouraged to understand that we can all succeed by working together and doing our best; this includes themselves, their families and the staff.
We recognise the important part that the family plays in a child's education. We encourage parental involvement.
Parents are always welcome to come into school and talk to members of staff, before or after school.
There will be opportunities throughout the year to meet with your child's teacher or key worker at Open Evenings and Open Days. We also have a Parents' Evening in the Summer Term when parents can discuss their child's annual report with their teacher.
Various fund-raising events are held during the year, throughout school. We really welcome and need your support.
We do hope that all parents will take these opportunities to come into school to see their children's work and talk to the teachers. Children achieve so much more when parents and teachers work together in partnership.
1. To help each child to gain a sense of achievement and take pride in themselves and their school.
2. To have a happy, stimulating and secure environment.
4. To provide a broad, balanced and creative curriculum that combines excellence in teaching with enjoyment in learning.
5. To create strong, collaborative partnerships with families and the local community.

Presentation for the Volunteers meetings
Volunteers PresentationIf school has to close due to the weather or open a little later then you can find out either via the school text messaging system, the school website or Kirklees Council website or listening to the local radio stations. A decision will be made by 7am on the morning and the local authority informed at this point. School will only be closed in extreme circumstances. Please make sure that we have your up to date mobile telephone number so that we can contact you in an emergency.
Every Thursday from 9am we are offering a drink and chat session in our new well being room (based in Early Years). You can come along and practice your English with each other, have a drink, and in the coming weeks maybe even do some baking with the children. We are open to any ideas about what you would like to do. We look forward to seeing you all there.
