Colegrave Primary School is a vibrant and diverse primary school set against the backdrop of Stratford City and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, home of the London 2012 Olympic Games. Our school is led by an ambitious and dynamic leadership team who ensure that standards of teaching and learning are consistently maintained across the school. Colegrave has a truly dedicated and passionate staff team who work hard to ensure pupils succeed. We genuinely believe that whatever a child’s mind can conceive and believe it CAN achieve! At Colegrave we are preparing our pupils, by equipping them with the academic, social, and emotional skills to support them succeed now and in the future. As well as being a high-performing school academically we are also a UNICEF Rights Respecting School and our ethos is to ensure our pupils take responsibility for their actions and the impact that this has on others. Colegrave Primary School is also one of the few schools in Newham to have a Resource Provision for pupils with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD). Here our pupils receive an individualized combination of specialist and quality-first teaching and external support from a range of professionals At Colegrave we have extraordinary, talented, and ambitious children who are determined to succeed, and as a school, we are committed to ensuring that every pupil is encouraged to reach their full potential, and given the confidence to seek out bright and successful futures. Within school, pupils are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. We promote the language of choice when we are communicating with children and always encourage children to make positive decisions. As a school, we educate and provide boundaries for young pupils to make choices safely, through of provision of a safe environment and empowering education. Every class has a talk box, which children are encouraged to use, this is checked regularly and actions are taken accordingly. We are a Rights Respecting School, where pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms. Through EPIC time (Everyone Positive in Colegrave) we discuss and advise how to exercise these safely. Our school ethos and behavior policy revolve around core values, such as respect. Every week we have a themed assembly, which focuses on one of our school rules. Epic (Everyone Positive in Colegrave) follows, where students are taught more about positive behaviors from the school rules and how they can emulate these in school and the wider society. We have a large pastoral support team, including a behavior support teacher, three learning mentors, and a speech and language therapist. These adults lead 1:1 sessions, small nurture groups, and whole-class activities to promote positive behavior. Rights Respecting posters around the school promote respect for others and this is reiterated through our classroom charters. This is achieved through enhancing pupils' understanding of their place in a culturally diverse society and by giving them opportunities to experience such diversity. All children are taught RE and visits to various places of worship are encouraged as part of our RE curriculum. We also hold celebration assemblies for festivals such as Eid, Christmas, Diwali, and Guru Nanak, where parents and carers are invited into school to celebrate with us. The school has a high-profile ‘Language of the Term,’ that runs throughout the year, linking to languages spoken by our EAL pupils. Members of different cultures or religions are encouraged to share their knowledge to enhance learning within classes and the school. View full school
