Calverton Primary School is a co-educational community primary school, which caters to children aged 3-11 years. We are a two-form entry school with a maximum number of 60 in each year group. Our classes are taught in mixed ability groups. Additionally, our school has a resourced provision for children with an autistic spectrum disorder. There are 14 places for children with ASD across the school. We believe that our school should provide a caring, positive safe, and stimulating environment which promotes the social, emotional, physical, and moral development of the individual child. At Calverton Primary School we are very proud to be a culturally diverse and fully inclusive school that is committed to ensuring we aspire to and achieve our motto of ‘Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day. We aim to: Provide a happy, healthy, and safe environment where Every Child is valued and inspired to achieve and exceed their potential. Provide Every Chance to strengthen positive relationships with our families and the wider community. Provide an enriched curriculum Every Day which will develop Every Child’s self-confidence, resilience, and passion for lifelong learning. Have high expectations and aspirations for the achievement of Every Child, providing them with high-quality teaching and personalized learning opportunities Every Day. Respect the religious and cultural traditions of Every Child and in doing so, celebrate our British values and the diversity reflected within our school community. If your child requires any form of medication during the school day then you must discuss this with the office staff. We have arrangements in place for storing children’s inhalers giving access as and when necessary. As children become older we encourage them to take responsibility for their well-being and self to administer their inhalers. If your child becomes unwell at school or has an accident we will contact you by telephone. Please ensure that we always have an up-to-date telephone number for you and inform us of any change of address. It is also important that we have an alternative telephone number of a relative, close friend/neighbor, childminder, in case we have any difficulty in contacting you. We strive to ensure that our children enjoy all aspects of school life. If at any time you have a concern, first of all, please see your child’s class teacher. He/she is usually available in the playground for a brief chat at the beginning of the day and will give you longer if you make an appointment. We hope to resolve any issues as quickly as possible. We hold two Parents’ Evenings and one Achievement Evening each year. It is your opportunity to talk to your child’s class teacher about your child’s progress and to look at their books. You must attend these meetings so that we form a close partnership and by working closely together, promote your child’s learning and well-being. At Calverton, we have the highest expectations for behavior and we actively promote our Positive Behaviour and Anti-Bullying Policy. Every child in the school is in a team and they can earn points for their team. Each term the team with the most points will be rewarded with a treat. The school will ensure your child’s physical and social well-being at all times, and foster feelings of confidence, self-worth, and belonging. We deliver a balanced and carefully planned curriculum that meets the needs of your child. We ensure that all teaching staff keep up to date on important educational developments and initiatives which might affect your child, and inform you of these at given meetings where appropriate. We provide a range of after-school extracurricular activities designed to enrich your child’s experience. View full school

The Calverton School is a community of respect, tolerance, and learning. In this community, honor is of paramount importance, for only with honor do we prosper. All members of The Calverton School live and learn in an environment of trust. With this trust comes relief and freedom: there are no locks on lockers, neither hall monitors nor school bells signify the beginnings and ends of classes. Here, each member assumes responsibility, and, with this responsibility, we all enjoy shared independence. Tension will always be present in any environment that fosters independence, yet we only improve and prosper through healthy, constructive tension. At The Calverton School, there is no external edict that delineates for us right or wrong instead. We expect that each member of our community assumes a personal obligation to act honorably. Here, honor is synonymous with the Golden Rule: acting selflessly, respecting guests, faculty, staff, students, and oneself. To act honorably is to uphold integrity, trust, and civility. Honor is valuing each other. Never condoned are lying, cheating, stealing, discrimination, or violence, because when one commits acts that hurt or otherwise dishonor someone else, the entire community suffers. Understandably, to protect itself and its honor, the Calverton community, will take action should this philosophy be violated. Everyone will make mistakes—but honor, growth, and learning take responsibility for these mistakes, make any necessary corrections, and continue forward. Be it known that we will uphold this understanding of honor, responsibility, and respect for all who enter The Calverton School. View full school
