GVS exposes children to a mixture of cultures through the teaching of Arabic, English, and German all in parallel. The GVS environment is set to ensure that children are motivated, interested, and confident. They are secure enough to escape their comfort zone yet disciplined to adhere to boundaries. GVS dedicates itself to developing open-minded and lifelong learners through its diverse and challenging educational system.

Through its distinctive trilingual education, GVS provides its students with the tool needed to challenge convention and to establish new benchmarks which allow students to be part of a world with no limits. For a child, learning a second or a third language is not more difficult than learning just one. Learning new languages at young ages is greatly beneficial not only because of the children’s receptivity to such but also because of how languages differ from each other. This further boosts the child’s understanding of these languages. Learning German alongside English, the child’s understanding and appreciation of German is further enhanced. Other benefits of learning three languages simultaneously are vast Children’s creative thinking skills and cognitive flexibility are developed dramatically traits that GVS finds particularly important. Through the study of these languages, students are exposed and asked to master different contexts of communication. They are required to do so regularly and this develops their communication skills considerably. Bilingual/Trilingual teaching will also stimulate a child’s urge to expose oneself to diversity and discomfort experienced. In addition, a multilingual environment exposes a child to a variety of unlike cultures. He will be exposed to unusual perspectives and ways of thinking and will come to truly appreciate his home culture. These endeavors inspire our vision: "TO BECOME AN AUTHENTIC TRILINGUAL SCHOOL" This vision has shaped the education provided by the school since it was founded.

Kew Green Preparatory School is housed in an attractive building, surrounded by mature trees and nestled in a peaceful corner of Kew Green. It is flanked by The Royal Botanical Gardens and The River Thames and we use these regularly along with the green itself. Children thrive in an environment that is loving and supportive. Physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually – our children develop and achieve their full potential in their time with us. Our aim is that they leave as skilled and adaptable young citizens who will grow to meet the challenges of the 21st century. We believe in a broad and balanced curriculum, nurturing creativity, and the development of high self-esteem in each child. We enthusiastically share our children’s education with their parents through our “open door policy”. Kew Green is a thriving school community where laughter and enjoyment go hand in hand with the process of delivering a first-rate education. Kew College is a non-selective, family-oriented, co-educational, independent school for children from 3 to 11 years of age. It is advisable to register your child for entry to the Nursery as soon as possible. You may register your child from birth. Registered siblings are given priority. Non-registered siblings cannot be guaranteed a place in the school. Priority is also given to children of former Kew College pupils. Being registered does not guarantee a place at Kew College. We have two Nursery classes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon – known respectively as Nursery Red and Nursery Yellow. We hold Open Mornings in June and September for parents of children registered to start in the Nursery the following calendar year. These Open Mornings are part of the admissions process and you must attend one of these events. Parents may visit the school at other times by arrangement with the Registrar. Places are offered in the Autumn term in the year before entry. Once offers are made, we require a deposit equal to half of the termly fees for the main school to secure a place. The deposit is reimbursed when your child leaves Year 6. In the Lower School (ages 4-7), a secure foundation of basic skills is laid. Particular attention is given to numeracy and all aspects of literacy - reading, spelling, handwriting, and comprehension. Oral and listening skills are also developed. These essential skills are fostered across the whole curriculum. At the same time, individual and creative expression is nurtured and encouraged. Pupils have the same class teacher for the majority of lessons. We have expert specialist teachers who will teach the children in Lower School for Music, French, Art, and PE/Games. Upper School pupils (ages 7-11) also have a class teacher, but many of their lessons are given by subject specialists. For all age groups, the maximum class size is 20. At every stage, the children are given awareness and understanding of the world around them. Our curriculum is enlivened and enriched by visitors to the school, educational trips, and clubs. We aim to relate academic learning to the real world beyond the classroom, whether this is with visits to our neighbor The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, botany lessons by the River Thames, or by meeting eminent guests who come to speak at the school. Parents are often involved in this and we encourage them to bring as much as possible to the daily life of the school. At Kew Green Preparatory School we take our responsibility to prepare children for life in modern Britain very seriously. We ensure that the fundamental British Values of mutual respect, understanding, and tolerance for those with different cultures, faiths, or beliefs democracy, rule of law, and respect for self and others are introduced, discussed, and lived out through our ethos which underpins the work of the school. All curriculum areas provide a vehicle for furthering understanding of these concepts and, in particular, work in RE, SMSC, PSHCE, and Current Affairs lessons provide excellent opportunities to deepen and develop this understanding. Children embrace these concepts with enthusiasm and demonstrate a good understanding of their application in their own lives. The school makes considerable efforts to ensure children have exposure to a wide range of experiences beyond their local community to help them understand these concepts. This is achieved through sporting events, residential visits, trips and visitors, cultural exploration, and celebration of a diverse range of religious and cultural groups. Our children will develop an excellent values-based understanding of fundamental British Values which gives them an excellent platform for understanding, celebrating, and embracing differences with tolerance and integrity. e encourage and expect good behavior from our pupils. This is based on a whole-school ethos of care and tolerance for others rather than on a long list of rules and regulations. The primary purpose of discipline in a school is to allow effective learning to take place. A calm and ordered environment is needed for this and all our pupils are expected to behave accordingly. High expectations in behavior, as in learning, generally produce excellent results. The Headmaster reserves the right to exclude any pupil for bad behavior pending discussions with parents and, ultimately, to require the removal of a disruptive pupil from the school.

Since the amalgamation of the poorly performing infant and junior schools in 2013, Rush Green Primary School has made rapid progress to become one of the highest achieving schools in Barking and Dagenham. In 2016, the school was recognized and congratulated on the very high level of the progress our pupils make, by the Rt Hon Nick Gibb, the Minister of State for School Standards. The school is aiming to continue to build on recent successes and is continuing its upward trajectory towards providing an outstanding education for all children. We have high expectations of what our children can achieve and strive to innovate and inspire all children, through a broad and balanced curriculum, so that they attain their very best and become confident, articulate, and successful individuals in an ever-changing global society. We provide an exceptional learning environment and experience for our children and we use excellent resources, including high-quality staff training, so that pupils make excellent progress. Rush Green Primary School seeks to serve the community by striving to ensure the highest standards of education for every child entrusted to our care. Our vision is to promote a positive, caring learning community where the values of mutual respect, tolerance, compassion, hard work, and commitment enable our learners to become the model global citizens of the future. At Rush Green Primary School we have recently introduced a House Points System. We believe that pupils thrive when they receive praise for their effort, success in their studies, sport, music, and other extra-curricular involvement in the life of the school. The system aims to work together to create a happy and productive learning environment. Every week, in our Friday Golden Assembly, the House Points Cup is awarded to the House with the most House Points. Children can earn House Points for their Houses by working hard in class, producing good quality work, being polite and courteous, helping each other, and setting a good example. Online safety, the safe and responsible use of technology, is a term that encompasses not only Internet technologies but also electronic communications via mobile phones, games consoles, and wireless technology. It highlights the need to educate children and young people about the benefits, risks, and responsibilities of using information technology. It means ensuring that children and young people are protected from harm and supported to achieve the maximum benefit from new and developing technologies without risk to themselves or others. The aim of promoting online safety is to protect young people from the adverse consequences of access or use of electronic media, including bullying, inappropriate sexualized behavior, or exploitation. The Internet is an unmanaged, open communications channel. The World Wide Web, email, blogs, and social networks all transmit information using the Internet’s communication infrastructure internationally at low cost. Anyone can send messages, discuss ideas and publish material with little restriction. These features of the Internet make it an invaluable resource used by millions of people every day. Some of the material on the Internet is published for an adult audience and can include violent and adult content. Information on weapons, crime, and racism may also be unsuitable for children and young people to access. Pupils need to develop critical skills to evaluate online material and learn that publishing personal information could compromise their security and that of others. Schools have a duty of care to enable pupils to use on-line systems safely. SMSC stands for Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural Development. At Rush Green Primary we embrace this broader dimension of learning through SMSC development. We understand that the personal development of all pupils plays a necessary part in their ability to learn and achieve both within this early stage of learning and later as they make their journey through adulthood. It is important to us that all members of our school community help us to provide an education that encourages opportunities for children to explore and develop and understand their own and others’ values and beliefs. To do this we must ensure our children develop spiritual awareness, high standards of behavior, a positive caring attitude towards all, an understanding of social and cultural traditions, and an appreciation of the diversity of other cultures. SMSC is embedded throughout our school community ranging from RE (Religious Education) and SEAL (Spiritual and Emotional aspects of Learning) lessons through to assemblies, charity work, cultural awareness events, visiting speakers, and a wide range of extra-curricular and out of school activities. The school ethos “Strive to Succeed” is also a significant contributor to the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development of our pupils. The ethos is embedded strongly throughout all teaching of the National Curriculum subjects and lessons aim to include clear SMSC opportunities. As part of the SMSC development within Rush Green Primary, we have implemented a School Creed for all members of the school community to learn and recite. It is important to us that children display an increasing willingness to participate and to learn about their service within the school. This is depicted throughout the recitation of the School Creed. Children must understand their place within their society and the role they must take within it, ’So many hearts make a school’. To start each new week as a working community the children are expected to recite the School Creed alongside their teachers every Monday. To give the children a broader sense of community the creed is also recited throughout the week during assembly time. Before going home on Friday the children will again recite the creed to finish their week with a sense of belonging.

We hope that our website gives you all the information you need about our school. We are always pleased to welcome visitors so please make an appointment at the school’s main office should you wish to come and visit. At Henry Green, we provide our learners with a broad and balanced curriculum. We follow the National Curriculum 2014 and learning is linked to a particular half-termly theme.

Brindishe Green is a community school where learning together is seen as a very important part of the education that we offer. The school is arranged on three floors with our youngest children on the ground floor. Though the building might look traditional, we use it in a modern way. Our children use different spaces in the school depending on the curriculum area or the type of learning in which they are involved. Each year group of children or class has its classroom. Each class will also use and learn in shared areas outside their classroom. This may be in an art, dance, or music studio, or outdoor learning areas. They will not always be limited to one classroom under the direct supervision of their teacher. You might imagine this creates a lot of noise as children move around our large building. It doesn’t – Brindishe Green is a very quiet and calm school. Children learn in a calm and considerate way and behave responsibly. Our flexible approach to learning encourages a feeling of commitment and belonging in our children. They are encouraged to see themselves as part of the whole school, they get to know all members of staff and all members of staff know them. Teaching and support staff work closely together sharing responsibility for making a very organized and educationally stimulating environment, ensuring that resources are well looked after and available. They help all children to behave well and become successful learners. Structure and organization are important to us and we have clear procedures and policies for every aspect of school life. These are agreed by staff and governors in consultation with parents and carers and are applied carefully to ensure that Brindishe Green children achieve high standards, are well supported in their learning, and develop a strong sense of community and good citizenship. Children, families, and staff at Brindishe Schools are drawn from a rich variety of social backgrounds, family structures, ethnic groups, and religions. We expect and work towards the high achievement of all pupils. Each child’s contribution to the classroom and school is welcomed and valued.

When the school is approached to admit a pupil the parent is invited to come and see the school. Parents may also book appointments to view the school directly with the Headteacher. Once it is clear that the parent is happy with the prospect of their child being admitted arrangements are made to find out about the pupil and to see that, as far as possible, the placement is an appropriate one to meet the child's needs. Replies to requests for placements go via the LA. Entry to Cricket Green School is via an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) or Statement of Special Educational Needs. All applications should be made via the Merton SEN Team including those from outside the London Borough of Merton. Parents and children may visit the school and should arrange this directly with the Headteacher. Once a placement is considered or advised by SEN Merton the Headteacher will then discuss with the appropriate Assistant Head and /or the class teacher and arrange an entry time for the pupil, that will allow for the class to be prepared to take the newcomer. If possible the new pupil will be asked invited to spend some time (e.g. half a day) with the class before entry. In some instances, extended links are established. When any placement is considered inappropriate the matter will be discussed with the LA. If needs be the application will be raised with the Chair of Governors.

Below you will find the list of Governors and their respective classes. For more information about the role of school governors please contact the school office In 2011-12 the Government launched its Pupil Premium funding. This money is sent to schools based on the number of pupils in the school who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM). Pupils who are counted as Looked After, adopted, or who have special guardianship arrangements also receive additional funding. This money is allocated to initiatives to ensure pupils reach their full potential, both academically, personally, and socially. At CGS pupils' academic abilities and needs are highly individual. Our strategy for ensuring all pupils are entitled to pupil premium additional support is rooted in our school systems for identifying pupil needs, aspirations, and barriers to learning. All pupils, irrespective of differing needs, are assessed and goals established. Strategies are then put in place and monitored to ensure pupils attain these goals and make outstanding progress against their starting points. For PP/LAC /SG pupils the success of these interventions is highlighted in LAC and Pupil Progress meetings. Pupils follow a modified curriculum based on the National Curriculum.

Academic and pastoral support goes hand in hand – in partnership with families. We ensure consistency – all classes – each year group. We know that potential +personal motivation + opportunities and support = high achievement. Our students are focused on building leadership capacity at all levels, and in developing the quality of teaching. Our students make outstanding progress from their starting points, in all subjects, including English and mathematics. Children in the Nursery have an excellent start to their education, they make rapid progress. They are thoughtful, highly motivated, and successful learners. The wealth of opportunities for them to take on responsibilities results in individuals who are mature and confident beyond their years. Our Partnerships are outstanding. The school reaches out to parents so that they are better able to support their children’s learning. Our students know that if they work hard they will succeed. They develop clear aspirations for career pathways for the future. They are exceptionally well prepared for life in modern Britain. Safeguarding is a high priority for all adults. Consequently, they are kept very safe and are taught how to keep themselves safe.

Our school is a large four form entry school situated in Hall Green, a leafy suburb of Birmingham, and we share our site with Hall Green Junior School, with whom we have close links. Although we are a large school we work hard to create a small school feel by knowing our children and their families well and making them all feel special. Not only do we as a school strive to ensure that outcomes for the children's academic success are very high, but we also look to develop them as young people to support them to become responsible citizens and positive contributors to the local and global community. This is done, in part, through "Our Aspirations" and our "British Values" education. We work hard to ensure the children and all members of the school community enjoy a safe and positive experience where they are valued, respected and most of all have fun! We follow a program of Values Education. The concept behind this is to develop children’s emotional intelligence by giving them opportunities to explore the values on which our society is based and the vocabulary to express themselves. Our parents are also involved in our Value of the Month and have given us some very positive feedback about the impact of our Values Education on their children’s social development. At Hall Green Infant and Nursery School, we have successfully followed our Values Programme for many years. Our values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an ethos and learning environment which helps to prepare our pupils for a positive future.
