Risca Primary School

[EduCativ]

We aim to provide a firm foundation for pupils through a broad, balanced, and enjoyable education, whilst placing high emphasis on the basic skills of reading, writing, and maths. We place a high priority on establishing good links with parents, as we know that children thrive when home and school work together.

Our School Aims:

• We will create a happy, vibrant, and interesting school that is welcoming and safe for all.
• We will provide a balanced, inspiring, and fun curriculum, which is supportive, challenging, and relevant to all children.
• We will encourage a love of learning, and develop children’s life skills, which they can carry forward into future learning experiences.
• We will ensure that all children are treated equally and fairly in all aspects of school life, to allow them to reach their full potential.
• We will celebrate our similarities and differences, and treat everyone with kindness and respect.
• We will all take responsibility to care for our world and all who live in it.
• Staff will work together to develop a supportive and hardworking team, one that encourages co-operation and respect.
• Our school will foster a supportive partnership with parents and the wider community by keeping everyone informed and involved.

There is a designated First Aid station and mobile kits are placed at strategic points around the school. All injuries, however minor, are recorded in an accident book. If any issues arise which cause us concern, then we shall contact you, therefore emergency contact details are vital. If a child has a bump to the head we will notify you by a phone call or a message at the door depending on the severity of the bump.

Children in school are the responsibility of the School Health Service rather than the Health Visitor. There are now a group of three nurses attached to the school who can offer advice on health problems. They are also able to access advice and support when children fail to progress in school. Please ring the school for an appointment.
