A very warm welcome to St. Anne (Stanley) C of E Primary and Nursery School. Our school is situated in the Old Swan area of the vibrant city of Liverpool. We are a thriving church school and proud of our very strong links to St. Anne’s Church and the local community. The school was founded in 1914 and officially opened in July 1915. We celebrated being ‘a hundred years old’ in July 2015. St. Anne’s provides a happy, safe, and stimulating environment. ‘The school’s work to keep pupils safe and secure is outstanding’ (Ofsted 2014). We value the contribution of every child, encouraging them to develop as individuals. Our school offers places for children from Nursery age through to Year 6. We are hardworking, dedicated, and have high expectations to ensure that our children not only achieve their best academically but become caring, respectful, and confident citizens for the future. The ‘Every Child Matters’ agenda centers on universal expectations for every child, that are mutually reinforcing and can narrow the gap between less advantaged children and their peers. As a church school, we embrace this vision from a Christian perspective that accepts and respects all as unique ‘children of God, precious in his sight and of infinite worth. Our church school delivers education from a Christian perspective in which each child is valued, has access to learning excellence, and enjoys holistic education in a socially cohesive and integrated, Christian community. Each child is accepted as a unique ‘child of God’. In a Christian environment, the individual child’s needs will be recognized and met, as and when they arise. A personalized plan will be designed to provide support and challenge in academic and personal development. This will encourage achievement of the child’s highest potential, the gaining of self-esteem, and growth as an independent, responsible citizen. We have a vision of children developing lives that reflect Christian values and teaching as we nurture personal, faith, and spiritual growth. We attempt to do this by visiting six values throughout the year. Our Foundation Stage consists of the Nursery and Reception classes. The Foundation Stage aims to lay a secure foundation for future learning and development. Individual needs and interests of the children are taken into account and are used as a basis for future planning. The EYFS curriculum is made up of 7 areas of learning. The most important areas are Personal, Social, and Emotional Development, Communication, and Language and Physical Development. At St. Anne’s we aim to provide a stimulating environment, both indoor and outdoor, which encourages exploration, investigation, and creativity. Play is an important part of a child’s development and as such opportunities are given for both independent and cooperative daily play. Our phonics program is based on ‘Letters and Sounds’ (Phase One to Four), Jolly Phonics (Phase Two and Three), and Liverpool School Improvement Plans (Year One and Two phonics). These resources provide a structured scheme to support teachers and teaching assistants in delivering daily, high-quality synthetic phonics across The Foundation Stage, Key Stage One, and early Key Stage Two. We aim to provide all our pupils with multi-sensory, fun, and engaging phonic sessions. We are now following the Oxford Reading Tree and TreeTops reading schemes, ensuring that we are providing the very best for every child. The children seem to be enjoying the new books which give a lot more variety to ensure all needs are met. Each child’s reading level has been carefully decided by the class teacher, who will continually monitor to ensure every child is making the best progress they can. View full school

Welcome to the St Ann’s Church of England Primary School situated in South Tottenham, London. St Ann's School aims to provide a Christian context for learning that is caring, stable, and academically challenging. It is our wish that the whole school community develops a love of learning. We will strive to provide all involved with the necessary skills and opportunities, to take an active role in learning, to reach their full potential. The school and wider community will work together to show respect and care for each other and the environment. St. Ann’s School aims to provide a Christian context for learning that is caring, stable, and academically challenging. It is our wish that the whole school community develops a love of learning and an understanding of our Christian values. School aims: We are committed to providing a secure and stable environment with shared expectations of the children’s conduct. We feel that a settled and calm environment is essential if meaningful learning is to take place. We aim to provide continuity and progression in the children’s learning. We are aware of the requirements of the National Curriculum and would encourage our children to achieve the highest individual standards, through the use of differentiated learning strategies. This will be achieved by targeted interventions. We aim to develop in each child a sense of self-worth, and an awareness of his/her importance in the school and the local community. Through the Christian life of the school, we aim to give the children an understanding of moral values, other faiths, and cultures particularly in their relationships with others. Our Foundation Values are central to the mission of the school and underpin our Collective worship. Each half term we break down these values into weekly thoughts and prayers drawing inspiration from the relevant Bible reading. Children who have been entered into the 'Gold Book' for outstanding learning or behavior three times in a term receive a 'Gold Certificate' in Celebration Assembly to which their family is invited. The school aims to cater for the all-around development of each child - intellectual, physical, spiritual, moral, and social -and to help each child to achieve self-discipline and self-respect as well as respect for others, in a secure environment of Christian love and care. The school teaches to the National Curriculum programs of study and attainment targets. We have introduced the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) to help deliver the curriculum excitingly and engagingly. The Nursery and Reception classes belong to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Children learn through play and exploration, active learning, and creating & thinking critically. There are three prime areas of learning: personal, social & emotional development physical development & communication & language. KS1 classes (Year 1 and Year 2) follow the National Curriculum, with emphasis on reading, writing, speaking & listening, mathematics and science. They use units from Milepost 1 of the IPC. KS2 follows the National Curriculum, with an emphasis on English, maths, and science. Years 3 & 4 use units from Milepost 2 of the IPC, whereas Years 5 & 6 use units from Milepost 3. To achieve these principles St Ann's teaches children Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Children are taught a range of science topics in line with the National Curriculum which links to Geography, History, and Art units from the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). This is a challenging curriculum that focuses explicitly on children’s learning. The structure of the IPC is based on subject, personal, and internationally-minded learning goals and unique units of work that help children acquire knowledge, skills, and understanding in an active, exciting and involved classroom. The aim is to help each child to be able to read fluently and with understanding so that reading becomes a source of real pleasure and enjoyment. Reading is a complex skill that is taught thoroughly and systematically at St Ann’s. We start developing a love of reading in the Nursery by introducing an exciting range of books to the children. They learn to love and know key authors by making props for stories, acting out stories, and enjoying the fun and rich language of stories. All children take books home from their classroom to share with parents in every year group. Learning with the IPC takes a global approach helping children to connect their learning to where they are living now as well as looking at the learning from the perspective of other people in other countries.

The development of a coherent and integrated approach to all that we do must focus on our core work of teaching and learning. If our structures, systems, strategies, or daily procedures lose sight of this fact we are, quite simply, working on the wrong agenda. Thus the development of Accelerated Learning, and indeed this Teaching and Learning policy is not set in isolation from our other strategies for development. All processes and practices (should) lead us towards the improvement of our capacity to put the learner at the center of our work. View full school

At St. Andrew's Southgate we have a love of learning and strive to nourish the God-given potential of each individual. We value our caring and prayerful Christian environment where children develop as critical thinkers with self-worth and resilience. We have joy in diversity and an ambition for our children to enhance their lives and the lives of others. We are a one-form entry primary school and pride ourselves on providing a broad and stimulating curriculum whilst developing spiritual, moral, and cultural understanding in our pupils. Relationships between pupils and adults are excellent and we have a strong link with St Andrew's Church on Chase Side. St Andrew's School has been providing education for local children since 1863 and today there are 210 pupils on the roll, their ages ranging from 4-11. As a Church School, every aspect of life at St Andrew’s is rooted in and imbued with the values we share as Christians. Although many values might help to describe the uniqueness of Christian life, we feel that six words most clearly speak of our shared vision to embody the love of Jesus Christ and to reflect the infinite value of each individual, and the potential for goodness and growth in God’s creation, as shown in the scriptures. Each year group has a particular focus on one value and has adopted a saint whose own life offers a helpful example of the value lived out. We believe in the importance of quiet and reflective time, not only to enhance concentration but also well-being. We ensure that our collective worship and classroom time involves frequent spaces and moments for stillness, thought, and prayer. We recognize the need for antagonism to be resolved not just in consequences and resolution but in reconciliation and forgiveness. These elements allow a true “Shalom” or peace that includes a sense of being whole and complete. Our children are made aware of the need to pray for and work towards an end to war and violence throughout the world. Being grateful can be important but we promote not just an inner feeling but an outward reaction to appreciating the life we are given and the opportunities placed before us. Children are taught that our response to people in need is a result of our gladness that we are blessed. We encourage one another to be joyful in all that we do and to support and take pleasure in each other’s gifts and talents. We believe in a God who created all things. The children of St Andrew’s are shown and taught in countless ways how to care for and take responsibility for the environment around us. Children have the opportunity within the school to care for animals (including chickens) but also to tend and cultivate the earth in our mini allotments. Our whole school community is engaged with making the very most of our premises with parents and guardians regularly invited to take part in the maintenance or decorating working parties. But perhaps most importantly the children are helped to make the connection between succeeding and participating and God’s desire that we all use the gifts given to us in their fullness.

St Andrew’s Prep is an independent day and boarding school (full, weekly, and Flexi) for boys and girls aged 9 months to 13 years. It is located in the coastal town of Eastbourne, East Sussex with easy access to London. We value childhood as the most important stage in one’s life a time where social development through friendship and play is as important as academic development within the classroom. We passionately believe that prep school education is about opening doors for young minds and, whilst maintaining high academic standards, we strive to ensure that each pupil has as many doors as possible from which to choose. We feel that this is an exceptional school an environment that upholds the finest prep school traditions but also one which is forward-thinking in preparing children for life in the 21st century. We seek to ensure that all pupils are equipped with the essential qualities of kindness and compassion and that when each child leaves he or she is skilled and confident to perform in many different areas. This website will give you a glimpse of the education, opportunities, and challenges that the school can offer your child. Please do explore it thoroughly and I hope it will whet the appetite for a visit during which, I’m sure, you’ll gain a real sense of the energy, the happiness and the engagement in learning of our children. I’m sure too you will see why we are so proud of its location, the heritage, facilities and staff of the school, but most of all, the children who define us and are the school’s heartbeat. At St Andrew’s we work with the parents to develop pupils of strong character who are confident yet not arrogant pupils who are comfortable with formality and informality who celebrate the successes of others as well as being proud of their achievements and who are ready to extend courtesy and kindness to those about them. Staff worked with the Prep School Council of pupils to discuss the traits needed to produce such morally aware characters and, together, we chose the following as values for all Androvians to possess: Honesty Kindness Respect Gratitude Courage These values are promoted through our rewards and sanctions policies, assemblies, Chapel services, PSHE (Personal Social and Health Education), our Mind Matters program, and, most importantly, the human relationships and partnerships that are nurtured between the children, staff, and parents.

Inspired by our Christian ethos we aim to provide a caring, healthy and friendly environment for all of our families. We work in close partnership with parents/carers so that they can play an active part in their child's education. Throughout their time with us, we encourage children to be positive, responsible, and considerate young people who can work cooperatively with others whilst also being confident and successful as independent learners. At St. Andrew are the children, their parents/carers, and staff come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. In our multi-cultural society, we hope to have a greater awareness, respect, and tolerance of each other by learning about each other’s customs and beliefs. As a Christian and community school, we are in a position to offer a firm foundation for a more just multicultural society. We regard all children as being of equal value and we aim to show by our curriculum, attitudes, and values that cultural diversity is welcome in our school. We intend that all children, regardless of language, faith or culture, should feel valued as individuals. Children’s names are placed on a waiting list and places are allocated as follows. Preference is given to children, who have special educational needs, and for whom St. Andrew’s is thought to be the most appropriate placement and for brothers and sisters of children already attending the school. Please note that a place in a Nursery does not guarantee a place in the Reception Class. There is one intake a year into the Reception Class, in September. If you are interested in a school place, please phone to make an appointment to visit. Information packs regarding admission to primary schools are sent to parents by the Local Authority in the school year before admission. It has been government policy to establish home/school agreements, which contribute to an effective partnership between home and school. Our home/school agreement sets out the rights and responsibilities of the school, the parents, and the children. Parents are asked to sign a home/school agreement when their child starts school. All Key Stage 2 children will be allowed to learn to play the recorder. The school choir also practices each week. Some children may also learn to play strings or brass. Parents may be asked to pay for music books, which then become their property. After-school short courses in basketball, football, tag rugby, hockey, dance, etc. are offered subject to the availability of specialist staff. Our Behaviour Policy deals with bullying, aggressive and disruptive behavior. It states what we expect from the children and what is not acceptable. We hope that our school’s ethos helps the children to develop qualities of tolerance, self-respect, courtesy, and consideration for others and their property. If children display anti-social behavior, parents will be informed and the problems discussed with them. The cooperation and support of parents enable us to maintain a good standard of behavior. St Andrew’s C.E.Primary School follows the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (click here) in the Nursery and Reception classes and the National Curriculum (click here) in Years 1 to 6. To make learning fun and relevant, we use a thematic approach to teaching which is inspired by the interests of the children and teachers themselves. This means that teachers use themes such as "Up, up and away" in Year 1 or "The Great Wall of China" in Year 6 to teach both knowledge and skills across many curriculum areas such as History, Geography, Science, Art, and Design and Computing. English and Mathematics are taught daily, sometimes in discrete lessons, sometimes using the topic theme as a stimulus for work in these subjects too. There are, of course, times when some subject content does not fit in with a class theme these areas are taught discretely to ensure full coverage of the curriculum. Our curriculum is designed to continuously evolve so that we offer the children an increasingly rich and broad learning experience. As a Christian Voluntary Aided Church of England School, our Religious Education curriculum follows the local Manchester Diocesan Curriculum. This is one way in which we develop the children's spiritual and ethical understanding and knowledge. Children at St Andrew’s receive high-quality phonics teaching. We use a variety of different schemes including Jolly Phonics and Phonics Play, amongst others. The teaching of reading is supported by providing children with a comprehensive and varied reading experience which includes Oxford Reading Tree, Bug Club, and a range of other literature. Once children are past the early stages of reading we use Accelerated Reader to motivate and monitor all our readers. We actively promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. A key element to enhancing the curriculum at St Andrew’s is our involvement with the wider community. We get involved every week with learning beyond our school, our city, and our country. We have regular visitors and enjoy school trips to different places. We get involved with supporting those needier than ourselves and try hard to develop those important 'life skills' needed for adult life. Our curriculum offers much more than the statutory requirements. We also invest time in developing the children's manners, confidence, and support and respect for one another. We have a House system which we use to emphasize these issues. Extra-curricular clubs are held on most evenings after school. View full school

St Andrew’s is a very welcoming school and we are known for our friendly, family atmosphere. We have excellent relationships with our families and know our children very well – one of the many advantages of being a small school.

All children have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and we regularly work in partnership with professional artists and musicians. This year we are, once again, working in partnership with the Royal Opera House to deliver their highly successful ‘Chance to Dance’ project. We promote enjoyment for learning and encourage children to be independent, reflective learners through the development of thinking skills. View full school

We like to start each morning with worship, either in the hail as a whole school, at church (once a half-term), or in our classrooms. Our worship follows the Christian tradition and Is taken by the vicar once per week. Parents are entitled to withdraw their children from acts of worship if they request this In witting. Our daily act of worship is central to the life of our school. In sharing and understanding God's love and the Christian principles which flow from it, we learn to respect the uniqueness of each one of us. We enjoy close links with our parish church, St Andrew's Totteridge, and we worship there several times a year, with the children taking an active role in each service. The school is situated in the beautiful setting of Totteridge Common and we benefit from playing on the Green. We value a close relationship with our families and believe our children can only do their best when they feel happy and secure at school. Our staff are multi-skilled and friendly and are committed to developing our pupil's full potential in all aspects of school life. By working together we seek to build upon our pupil's zest for life, enabling them to grow into keen independent learners who can approach their secondary education with confidence. Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. Loving and valuing everyone is an essential element of Christian behavior and is at the heart of life at our school. St Andrew's C of E school is a place where we can learn to love God, one another, and ourselves. This is achieved through collective worship, religious education, and the application of Christian values within and beyond the school. Through these Christian values of Respect, Trust, Peace, Cooperation, Responsibility, Courage, Love, Happiness, Understanding, Humility, Resilience, Thoughtfulness, Patience, Determination, Caring, Thankfulness, Forgiveness, Equality, and Excellence we engage children in learning that helps them be respectful of others and be aware of their feelings, emotions, and beliefs.

We see education as a partnership between parents, school, and the church. With your help, we will ensure that your child is happy, secure, sees learning as a positive experience, and receives the best possible education. At St. Andrew’s our aim is to create an environment, which reflects Christian beliefs and promotes successful teaching and learning. This is a mixed voluntary-aided school, which has a one-form entry (30 children) and caters to children throughout the Primary age range (5-11). St. Andrew’s is rightly proud of its heritage and has been serving the children and families of Uxbridge since 1869. Right from the very beginning, the school has had a Christian foundation, as a Church of England School, and this faith in God is still a central and vibrant aspect of the character of the school. Christian values underpin the whole ethos of the school, belief in the God-given potential of every child inspires all we do, and joyful worship helps to create a united, loving, and confident community. With this foundation of faith, we seek to serve the local community by offering high-quality education to all our pupils. Our Vision is: To deliver a relevant and balanced quality curriculum that enables all children to reach their full potential. To enable each child to grow in confidence, self-esteem, and spiritual awareness. To foster an understanding and respect for others. To develop inquiring, independent, and creative minds. For children to be happy while belonging to a secure community and to encourage them to look forward to a challenging future. At St. Andrew’s we implement a policy that will enable all children to reach their full potential through the efficient identification of educational, behavioral, and physical strengths and weaknesses. The progress of all children is assessed and tracked at regular intervals. If it is identified that a child is not making the expected progress or requires additional support we work closely with parents to find solutions and enable learning. The positive involvement of all parties is crucial to the success of such pupils. At times it is deemed necessary to involve outside agencies such as the London Borough of Hillingdon Educational Psychology Service. Parents are fully consulted if this occurs. At St Andrew’s we value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of all pupils and families and undertake a variety of events and lessons to celebrate these. We have found this approach to be enriching for all parties as it teaches tolerance and respect for the differences in our community and the wider world. Underpinning all of this are a range of curriculum topics that have strong links to the British Commonwealth. This statement outlines the key British values we actively promote. Our school vision and ethos revolve around Core Christian Values, reflected in our weekly assembly themes. We promote respect for others and this is reiterated through our classroom rules. Our PSHE curriculum embodies the values of mutual respect and we actively promote an attitude of equality and fairness through PE and Games lessons. Our older pupils promote mutual respect by working with other, younger pupils across the school during lessons and also lunchtimes. View full school

We are a popular one- form entry Church of England voluntary aided primary school situated in the diverse Barnsbury area of Islington. Our Christian ethos is firmly embedded in all that we do at St. Andrew’s with strong links with the Barnsbury Parish team and the churches of St. Andrew’s, All Saints, and the Church on the Corner.

School Motto: 'Realising potential through faith, hope, and love'. We provide a safe, happy and purposeful environment for our children which supports them in their learning right from their first experience of school in Reception through to Y6 and we ensure children are well-prepared for their journey into secondary school – and beyond! St. Andrew’s is very fortunate to have extensive and well-maintained grounds – which is rare for a school in central London! Our playground includes a grassed area as well as gardens and a court with separate outdoor learning provisions for Foundation Stage children. Because of our central location close to King’s Cross we have access to all the opportunities, this provides for cultural learning and of course excellent transport links. We are also acutely aware of the challenges that face people living and working in one of the major capitals of the world with its areas of prosperity and deprivation. We firmly believe that all children – no matter what background they have, have the potential to achieve success. We believe that children thrive in a caring and intellectually stimulating environment with plenty of praise and encouragement. At St. Andrew’s we aim to help our children to succeed and gain confidence so that they contribute to society as skillful and well-balanced young people. At the center of our school day is our Collective Worship which provides the whole school with time for reflection, praise, and prayer. This is integral to the school day and a fundamental part of our journey together. View full school
