Colmore Infant and Nursery School

[EduCativ]

Colmore Infant & Nursery School opened in 1909 and has successfully educated children for over a century. Many of the children that attend our school have followed in their parent's and grandparent's footsteps. We know that there is a strong community that supports the school and our reputation for maintaining caring alongside doing the fun things well- like the arts, makes us a popular choice locally. We remain committed to developing our children as well-rounded individuals who become sought after by our local secondary school and highly employable young adults. Most importantly we want our children to be happy and develop a real love of learning. We know that academic success relies on children being happy and confident.
At our school staff, governors and parents work hard to ensure that the children reach their potential in a caring, safe, and creative environment where everyone is valued. Both schools put the child at the heart of all they do with a rich and broad curriculum and an ethos that builds self-esteem and confidence.
When you visit Colmore, we hope that you will see that we aim to provide the children with an environment that is caring, stimulating, and academically challenging for them. The staff and governors believe that each child who attends our school is a special person who has skills to be developed, curiosity to be encouraged, difficulties to be overcome and goals to be achieved. We work hard to ensure that your child will develop a love of learning and the self-confidence to approach a wide range of situations both in and out of school.
Class teachers have a responsibility to ensure that all children are supported within lessons using a variety of teaching and learning strategies appropriate to their needs including additional support from the class teacher and teaching assistants. At Colmore, we seek to promote and develop every child’s sense of independence and achievement within a supportive and nurturing environment. A ‘team’ approach is always adopted by class staff to avoid overdependency on one adult. Children may have access to the whole class, small group, and some 1:1 support dependent on their needs. This means that activities are planned according to the level the child is working at.
For children who have social and/or emotional needs, our pastoral team provides support. This may take the form of social skills groups or specific interventions such as ‘Friends for Life’, a friendly ear, support at playtimes and dinner times, ‘meet and greet’ morning sessions to support the transition between home/school and encouraging children to participate in appropriate extracurricular activities including The Children’s University. Children may also have an Attachment Support Plan or a Behaviour Support Plan.
