Developing links with our local community is a key part of developing learning experiences for all children. We have links to the local police and fire service, the Little House of Hope, our local Churches and through our Chair of Governors role as a Local Councilor we have regular visits from community members. All of our enrichment work within and across the curriculum is shared on our School DoJo page and also Facebook.
For 2023-24, we will begin to work towards achieving Rights Respecting Status and this will support children in developing projects wider afield from the community on our doorstep. We also look for how we can support local and National Charities and our school council help to plan key events throughout the year.
Also new for 23-24 is Forest School work. This will support children in learning about and engaging positively with our outdoor environment.
Useful links to excellent community services
We are fortunate to have two excellent community centres on our doorstep. The staff work so hard to provide children and young people with out of school and non term time activities.
