SCHOOL AND CLASS ORGANISATION
School year groups are based upon the age of the children. Children are allocated to a year
group based upon their age as at 1
st
September.
At the start of the new school year parents are invited to a class meeting which outlines
the content of the taught curriculum for the year group and offers suggestions on how they
can support their children at home. In addition parents are issued with a copy of the class’
Curriculum Newsletter for those who cannot attend the meeting.

Classes across the year group share the same curriculum schemes and the year group
teachers work together for the benefit of all of the children in that year group. Class
teachers are responsible for the education and pastoral care of each child within their class.
They are supported by Learning Support Assistants.
As with all aspects of school life, we strive to provide equal opportunities for all pupils in
their access to the National Curriculum or Foundation Stage Curriculum. We endeavour to
promote a positive self image for all groups within the school’s community and utilise
materials that reflect this ethos. We challenge evidence of racism, sexism or any other
form of intolerance or harassment (including bullying). We aim to provide an encouraging
and positive atmosphere for all pupils.
