Our school is spaced over a large site, with extensive grounds. It has recently undergone significant redevelopment to cater to our increasing numbers. We are very proud of our new library and new dining room/studio. There is a mixture of provision both indoors and out with several specifically designed outdoor learning areas to interest and engage our children. We have extensive sports fields that are regularly used by many of our after-school sports clubs. You will find our classrooms equipped with the latest technology. We also have a bespoke ICT suite and additional laptops that can be moved from class to class. Our investment in technology ensures that our pupils are prepared for the modern world. Our playgrounds have a range of climbing/play equipment and a range of specifically designed areas, including a low-level climbing wall with a safety surface. We intend that our children can enjoy their play as much as their work. At Colham Manor we aim to provide a happy, caring, safe and secure environment where all children reach their potential. It is a school where standards continue to rise and Ofsted has recently praised the caring nature of our staff and the pupil’s behavior, amongst many other things. Our priority is to ensure that children reach the highest standards possible and children’s learning is thoroughly tracked and regularly reviewed. We also place a high emphasis on developing independence, confidence, and co-operation, so that our children are ready for the next step in their lives. We have a hugely popular breakfast club that is run by school staff. For a small charge, parents can leave their children in a safe environment where they can enjoy a healthy breakfast, play games, and chat with friends. The After School Club is run by Colham Manor Primary School and was set up in September 2013. There is always an adult to child ratio of at least 1:8 and the setting is staffed by school staff. There is a range of toys, games, and activities on offer both inside and out, giving the children the opportunity to play independently and also with adult interaction. The club is open from 3.15 pm – 5.45 pm daily and a healthy snack is provided. If you would like more information about the club or would like to book a place for your child please speak to the school office. We offer a wide range of clubs both at lunchtime and after school. These allow our children opportunities to experience new activities or participate in their hobbies. As well as learning new skills, our clubs allow our children to develop their esteem, confidence and build friendships. Our clubs are run by a mixture of school staff and outside providers Colham Manor is an inclusive primary school. We are proud of how we value and support all our children. We expect all our children to reach their full potential and support their individual needs to ensure they can reach the highest standards they are capable of. Teachers plan lessons to ensure all children make progress in class, taking into account their ability level and individual needs. Some of our children have specific needs that require extra support additional to what can be provided in the classroom. For these children, we provide specific support programs, delivered by trained staff in the Launch Pad, a specially resourced provision for children with additional needs. These children may be identified as having special educational needs or at the early stages of learning English as an additional language. View full school
