Kenmore Park Infant and Nursery School

[EduCativ]

Kenmore Park Infant and Nursery School are a Good School (Ofsted July 2014) where the personal development and well-being of every child are paramount, alongside a broad and enriched range of curricular experiences which all work together to develop the whole child. We want for everyone to feel valued and included by

• Aiming high to achieve excellence in learning by applying the dispositions of an effective learner
• Providing a safe and caring environment conducive to promoting learning, which is positive and enjoyable (article 16)
• Promoting independent learning and encouraging everyone’s talents to the full (article 29)
• Embracing and celebrating the cultural diversity of our School family (article 30)
• Being committed to listening to our pupil's voice (article 12)
• Actively encouraging good, honest citizenship and British values through our SMSC curriculum thus equipping our pupils with the ability to make connections with their needs and rights (article 1)

The Nursery and Reception Classes have access to outdoor learning areas. There is also an outdoor playground equipped with play furniture and a quiet, sitting area, stage, and pitch with a soft surface for the pupils in KS 1. All classes are in permanent, purpose-built rooms and all accommodation is on the ground floor.

The school is on a shared site – Kenmore Park Junior School occupies similar accommodation on the first floor. There are strong links, both pastoral and curricular, between the two schools, and most children attending the Infant School transfer to the Junior School. They are able, therefore, to benefit from the stability and continuity which these links ensure.

School Values:

• The prime purpose of the school is to promote learning leading to the fullest development of the individual.
• All learners are entitled to high-quality education appropriate to their needs and interests enabling them to contribute with confidence to their future development and to that of the community.
• Learners’ rights are more likely to be realized if their environment is happy, safe, calm, and secure.
• Active participation of home, school, and the community are crucial to the learning process.

Kenmore Park Infant & Nursery School is fully committed to meet its responsibility to protect and safeguard the welfare of children and young people in its care. We will provide a caring, positive, safe, and stimulating environment that promotes the social, physical, and moral development of the individual child. Also, we aim to identify concerns early and prevent concerns from escalating.

• To have a thorough and up-to-date knowledge of the subjects they teach.
• To plan lessons and to use a range of teaching strategies to meet the needs of the children.
• To monitor children’s progress, assess, keep records, set targets for learning, and liaise with parents/carers.
• To challenge and support children by inspiring trust and confidence, building team commitment, engaging and motivating children, and taking positive action to improve children’s learning.
• To develop their professional expertise and to make an active contribution to the life of the school.
