Ewloe Green Primary School

Ewloe Green Primary School. We are a popular school, situated in Flintshire, on the border between Wales and England. The school caters for children aged from 3 to 11 years. As well as providing up to 49 places for each year group from Reception to Year 6, the school also has a Nursery offering free part-time places. The school is a friendly community, which provides a safe, secure and happy environment for our children.

Our staff have high but realistic expectations for the children and plan and deliver interesting work, capturing their imagination and creativity whilst challenging them. Our programme of Languages, Literacy and Communication, Mathematics and Numeracy, Science and Technology, Humanities, Expressive Arts and Health and Well-being is the foundation of learning.

We know that some children can find learning more difficult than others and our provision for pupils who need extra support and provision for those who need further extension and challenge is excellent. We provide a wide range of extra-curricular activities to extend and enrich the children’s learning and engage their interests and energies beyond the classroom.

We aim to prepare the children for their future role as a member of a harmonious multi-cultural society. By supporting their moral, social, spiritual and emotional development, we aim to develop their independence, respect for others and inspire their enquiring minds, whilst empowering children with skills and knowledge. We do this by nurturing our children in a caring, supportive and stimulating environment where they can build a positive self-image.

Of course we can do the above much better when close co-operation and partnership is built between home and school. Parents are encouraged to be involved in all aspects of school life and our School Association group meets regularly to enhance the opportunities for the children. Our teachers are always happy to discuss any aspects of your child’s development and welfare with you.

Ewloe Green is an improving school, true to its motto of, ‘Always Aiming High’. We are totally committed to best provision and positive development. This makes Ewloe Green an exciting and motivating school to belong to. Ewloe Green has an inclusive ethos with a concern for all involved in the daily life of our school. As a school in Wales, we embrace its language, culture, traditions and heritage. In partnership with Parents, Carers, Governors and the local and wider communities, we aim to provide the best possible educational opportunities whilst nurturing children in the Christian faith. At the same time we recognise and respect the different faiths and cultures reflected within our school, community and in the wider world.

Our aim is to:

• Ensure that Ewloe Green is a happy school where children are central to our thoughts and actions, where they feel safe, secure and confident and where every child matters, is valued and successful.
• Ensure that we strive to achieve the highest possible standards through best provision of teaching for learning.
• Ensure that we provide a broad and balanced curriculum, which offers wider opportunities for children to extend their talents, knowledge, skills and understanding appropriate to the needs of the individual child, both within and outside of school.
• Ensure that the learning environment is stimulating, challenging and supportive, where children are encouraged to question and to explore, developing their independence, collaboration and enjoyment of learning.
• Ensure that everyone is respectful of others, tolerant of differences in beliefs, cultures and abilities in order to nurture confidence, self esteem, moral values and to prepare children to be model citizens within a multi cultural society, aware and supportive of others less fortunate.
• Ensure that all children have equality of opportunity and access to school life.
• Ensure that all stakeholders have due regard for their own health and well-being and care for the world around them.
• Ensure that everyone in our school family and visitors too, are welcomed, valued and are encouraged to work in partnership with the school to support our children.
