Children are smiling, playground laughter, children, working together, asking questions, exploring, problem-solving – as an educator, these are a few of my favorite things. When I walk around Golden Grove Lutheran Primary School (GPS), I observe positive and powerful interactions. I see the rich and deep learning occurring; I witness the care and concern between all community members, children, and adults alike. During the last thirty years for which I have been a principal, I have been honored to be a part of many children's learning journeys. In partnership with parents, it is a privilege and exciting to watch children grow and develop as they respond to an engaging and stimulating learning program. As a school, we must believe in the capacity of every child who walks through our doors. We offer a comprehensive and contemporary program within a safe environment that will support them in their learning and growth to become citizens who are equipped to make a difference in the world. Who we are and what we aim to achieve is driven by our school values of 'Belief, Collaborate, Achieve.' Through this website, I trust that you will gain a sense of our school community and the GPS difference. Deciding the right school for your child /ren and family is a complex decision that needs much thought and exploration.

Chafin Grove is a school of over 200 boys and girls, between the ages of three and thirteen. It is set on the edge of Salisbury in its spacious grounds, with both the cathedral and the local countryside within walking distance. Chafin children enjoy excellent facilities, first-class teaching, and unrivaled opportunities. AIMS OF THE SCHOOL Chafin Grove aims to provide an environment of an enjoyable challenge for boys and girls from 3 to 13 years old. We believe that it is vital for children to experience a wide range of opportunities, to discover their strengths and learn from their weaknesses. There must be breadth, depth, and balance in our provision to achieve this aim. This is crafted from high-quality, meaningful relationships between each pupil and their teachers. Chafin Grove aims to provide an environment of an enjoyable challenge for boys and girls from 3 to 13 years old. Too much challenge is stressful, too little is dull. In between exists the essence of first-class education, achieved by high-quality relationships between staff and pupils and a breadth of opportunity. The latter aspect is a key component of our success: that each child discovers their strengths. We hope that all of our children will develop habits and attitudes which will serve them throughout their education, through school, and life. As well as building on strengths, it is also healthy for our children to encounter areas of relative weakness, and learn from them too. Our provision sets out to exercise Curiosity, Courage, and Compassion, enabling our children to explore all of their potentials and develop them. Each child at Chafin Grove is encouraged to enjoy the challenge. We have enshrined this in our ‘Chafin Challenges’ – a series of tasks designed to help the children immerse themselves in our core values, learning who they can be in the process. The following is from the booklet which records their progress: When George Mallory was asked why (on earth) he wanted to climb Everest, he memorably replied: ‘Because it’s there.’ The unspoken challenge of an unattained feat was urgent enough to draw him into an extraordinary feat of endeavor. That spirit, to be intrigued by the possibility and impelled to see where that might lead, is at the heart of everything good at Chafin Grove. The enjoyment of challenge on its own, however, is not enough. Our motto challenges us to be mindful of how our actions affect others. Therefore, Compassion should be exercised alongside Courage and Curiosity. The Chafin Challenges are constructed to help children get the most out of school. The virtues they are built upon are our school colors. The completion of all of them by the time a child leaves is a commendable achievement, but each one tackled is a worthwhile step towards the summit.

The children have the opportunity to play, learn, experiment, and explore both inside and outside of the Nursery. We are learning to write and count all of the time in many different and fun ways. We also have an area for writing and reading, numbers, puzzles and games, painting, role play, building, sand and water, the list goes on. Pop in and have a look for yourself. Our goal is to enhance and embellish this curriculum, whilst maintaining a strong emphasis on acquiring the basic tools vital to early schooling. Every day is an adventure and a time of discovery. However, we carefully structure the work to help children develop their skills and relationships to enable them to reach their Early Learning Goals milestones by the end of the Reception year. We recognize that not all children develop at the same speed, or in the same way, so we differentiate accordingly allowing our more able children to achieve very high standards. By observing all children at work and play we can continuously assess progress and attainment. We maintain a profile of each child's development. At Bruce Grove Primary we use the Read Write Inc (RWI) program to get children off to a flying start with their literacy. RWI is a method of learning centered around letter sounds and phonics, and we use it to aid children in their reading and writing. Reading opens the door to learning. A child who reads a lot will become a good reader. A good reader will be able to read more challenging material. A child who reads challenging material is a child who will learn. The more a child learns, the more he or she will want to find out. Using RWI, the children learn to read effortlessly so that they can put all their energy into comprehending what they read. It also allows them to spell effortlessly so that they can put all their energy into composing what they write. Bruce Grove Primary is a culturally diverse school and we are proud to celebrate and promote our different backgrounds and beliefs. Our school motto is ‘Unity is Strength’. The ability to respect themselves, their peers and develop as good citizens is at the core of our aims and values. At Bruce Grove, children learn and reflect that their behavior choices affect their rights and those of others. The Bruce Grove Benchmarks form part of our school ethos and behavior policy in particular being ‘Respectful and Honest’. Pupils are part of discussions and assemblies related to what this means and how it is shown. Respect for others is reiterated through our classroom and learning rules, as well as within our behavior policy.
