Field End Infant School

At Field End Infant School we pride ourselves in providing a nurturing environment where all our pupils can develop the valuable life skills needed to go into the world and to make a difference and achieve excellence.

We believe the key to success is working in partnership with you to support this exciting part of your child’s life and we look forward to welcoming you into the Field End Community.

We recognize that in placing your child in our care, you expect the very best from us too and we strive to ensure that your child flourishes whilst they are with us. We offer a wide range of learning opportunities through an exciting and engaging curriculum. We have a dedicated staff that work tirelessly to support your children to achieve their potential.

Our ultimate goal is for pupils to become self- motivated, independent learners with a wide range of study skills that will be useful to them throughout their lives. Whilst engaged in this process we also want them to have fun: to enjoy their childhood.

This is our vision. We believe in encouraging our children to develop their aspirations, to know they can be who they want to be and have dreams for the future. We have a broad curriculum to develop our children’s talents through physical, musical and creative activities while retaining a strong provision of the core subjects of reading, math's and writing. We want to encourage our children to develop enquiring minds and the skills to ensure they are lifelong learners and continue their learning in whatever path they choose. We support all of our children to build good social relationships, developing emotional skills and learning how to make good choices to prepare them to shape their futures.
Our stated aims are

• To establish a happy, secure, well ordered and stimulating environment where children and staff can work together in an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect and where children can learn to be tolerant, courteous and considerate to others.
• To provide a broad balanced curriculum to help each child develop their full potential through a range of skills, knowledge, practical activities and resources, so that they can become successful citizens in an ever changing world.
• To recognize the individuality of each child and to cater for individual needs so that they can learn at a pace that suits them.
• To provide equal educational opportunities and experiences to all members of the school community regardless of disability, race, religion or gender.
• To teach and foster the development of good working habits, an enquiring mind and self discipline and to encourage the children to take a pride in their work, in their personal appearance and in the appearance of the school.
• For children to learn in an environment that teaches self-worth, tolerance and respect for others and where the achievements of individuals are celebrated.
• To encourage children to believe in themselves and to take an active part in society.
• To foster a caring environment where children learn to respect the school’s property and that of others.

Nursery is a child’s first experience of school life. At Field End Nursery we ensure that children feel secure and happy, and eager to explore the stimulating environment we provide. Our main aim is that children develop personal and social skills and a sense of pride in their own achievements, and that they have a feeling of self-worth.

Our Reception year is key in starting the children on a positive journey of learning which will be continued throughout their school life. We believe that children learn best through playing & exploring, being active and developing creative & critical thinking skills. We aim to support children’s learning by offering an exciting, child-centered curriculum with lots of practical, hands-on experiences. We strive to develop the ‘whole’ child so they become confident, active and independent learners.
