This booklet aims to answer most of the questions you may have about how our school is organized and help you to understand more about Cross Ash Primary. As a school, we look forward to sharing this period of your child’s life with you. Every effort is made to provide a full and interesting curriculum, to prepare your child for future education and to give them the skills and enthusiasm to pursue learning for the rest of their lives.
Our school aims to be at the heart of the community and we value the partnership we have with parents greatly. By working together and by ensuring that your child is happy in school we feel that they will reach their full potential. We hope that your association with the school is a long and happy one and we look forward to seeing you very soon. We aspire for all our children to become confident, caring individuals who achieve success and develop a love of learning.
At Cross Ash, we believe that every pupil is equally important and we have high expectations of them all. Our children need to feel valued and to know that their contribution is very important. We hope our children will work hard and enjoy all aspects of life at school. Above all, we aim to provide a happy school where children reach their potential and are cared for sensitively.
To enable this to happen we have established an environment in which teaching and support staff, school governors, advisory colleagues, parents, and future parents work together for the achievement of the following.
Aims:-
- To develop a community of lifelong learners where access to knowledge and skills is a right and achievement is recognized. To develop learners who achieve their potential and become confident, independent, and resilient, well equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st Century.
- To enable pupils to acquire knowledge, skills and develop practical abilities. Especially those of problem-solving, investigating, thinking skills, and effective use of language.
- To provide an environment that is stimulating and attractive, which reflects the values of the school and which promotes a sense of community. Physical activity, healthy lifestyles, positive attitudes, and safety awareness are promoted and pupils feel valued and secure.
- To work together with the local and worldwide community to gain social, cultural, moral, spiritual awareness and understanding and appreciate the world in which they live. To recognize the interdependence of individuals, groups, and nations preparing them to become well-informed, responsible, and caring citizens in the future.
