WELCOME

On behalf of the staff, pupils, parents and governors, I would like to welcome you to our website at Primrose Hill Primary School.

Primrose Hill prides itself in providing a happy, safe, secure and supportive learning environment where good order and discipline are preserved to enable your child to achieve academic and personal excellence.

Confidence within a school comes from knowing and understanding what is happening within it. This website provides information you may require initially but it is only through personal contact with myself and the staff that mutual trust and understanding can develop, which should be the basis of our shared responsibility.

CLASSES

At present there are 166 children on roll organised into 7 classes. However numbers are growing quite rapidly, partly as a result of extensive housing development within the area but also due to the excellent reputation that the school has for giving all children a chance to shine. The school’s admission number in the infants is 30

FOCUS FOR 2008-09

Our focus is on raising standards in writing for all ages with targets of :-

• developing greater opportunities for writing more regularly and at length across other areas of the curriculum such as history, geography, science etc
• Developing a creative approach to teaching the National Curriculum through thematic topics, enhancing the enjoyment of learning for our children.

We would also like to continue to raise our profile in the local community.

We commend the Love Reading for Schools Scheme

OUR ENVIRONMENT

Classrooms are well furnished, all with adjoining resource areas providing access to extensive ICT facilities including interactive whiteboards within each classroom and additional accommodation for group and creative work. There is an excellent library with a computerised database and thumbprint identification which houses a comprehensive collection of books, videos and audio visual tapes. The large hall is used throughout the day for collective worship, PE, drama and music lessons as well as for dining.

The school is fortunate in having extensive grounds including playing fields, a nature garden, a tyre play park, a football pitch and hard surface playground and car parks. An on-going programme of developments is planned to further enhance the outdoor learning environment.
