About Our School
Our School has a proud history and has gradually evolved into the vibrant centre of education it is today. We have sought to distil the essence of our school into a few important observations- | |
As a school we are proud of our size:good things come in small packages! We know this allows us to have a family feel within the school that makes us feel special. |
|
Being able to trace our education history back to 1844 there has been a long and proud association with the local church and wider community. Like the schools of old, we continue to put Jesus at the centre of everything we do and thus the school "plays a significant part in the development and promotion of harmonious village life in Mawdesley." |
|
We believe that a holistic education is the only education we can offer- we aim to consider pupils mental,physical and spiritual wellbeing and to try and maintain a balanced approach to education. | |
Our central location gives us a wealth of local resources - The Village Hall, Mawdesley Tennis Club and Millenium Green. We genuinely are a village school and as such, have a proud history of supporting local events, like carol singing and tidying the graveyard. |
|
Although we have historic connections, we also have a great communication infrastructure that is very modern - a suite of 50 ipads allows our pupils to use the latest technology. Seesaw is an App that all teachers use to share pupils'achievements with families. We also use social media to maintain great positive links between school and the wider community. |
|
Our School is very flexible and responsive.... school dinners can be taken day to day as required, staff can be contacted by email and on Seesaw and will respond personally and our out of school providers - 'The Play Stop' will try to accomadate you even at short notice. Also our formal parents' consultation meetings in the autumn and spring terms are 10 minutes long, this allows for detailed discussion and accurate time keeping. Our 3-Word Vision, developed by the children, BELIEVE ACHIEVE SHINE allows them to have faith in themselves, achieve great things and let their light shine out. |
|
Staff reward pupils' achievements in these areas, whether they be in or out of the classroom, with our Friday Celebration Worships. We then add our pupils to our tree of success in our school hall and recognition is shared with the school and parents |
