Middlefield Community Primary School

We are committed to providing our children with the very best opportunities to enjoy school and to achieve their potential. We provide a caring environment where children feel happy, safe and secure. We aim to ensure that our children become independent and resilient learners who will be well prepared for life in modern Britain. Our children will know that as part of a community, they have both rights and responsibilities.

Middlefield Forest School offers the children at Middlefield an exciting opportunity to learn in an outdoor environment. It is an inspirational programme that offers the children at Middlefield regular opportunities to achieve, develop selfconfidence and self-esteem through a hands on learning experience in a woodland or natural wooded environment.

The children of Middlefield access Forest school on site at a young, developing woodland that they have planted and manage and at Speke Hall Bluebell woods. This has been achieved through close collaboration with the National Trust and Mersey Forest.

Our Mission Statement...

• Everyone has rights
• Everyone has responsibilities
• Everyone should have access to a wide variety of opportunities
• All members of our community have equal worth
• We are part of the local, national and global community
• Learning is an amazing process that never stops

In our school we recognise that every pupil has individual needs. We aim to support and challenge all pupils so that they reach the highest level possible in their learning and social development.

All staff are responsible to the Head teacher for the welfare and safety of the pupils in their care. School takes its responsibilities for Child Protection very seriously. School is in contact as necessary with other relevant agencies regarding the best interests of pupils. We co-operate closely with Education Welfare, Social Services and School Medical and Psychological services. We have regular visits from a variety of professionals; police, fire service and anti-bullying and racism specialists to ensure that the pupils understand how to keep themselves safe.

At Middlefield we have support from ‘A Quiet Place’, where parents, children and staff can access a variety of therapies, relaxation techniques and educational therapeutics. Our Learning Mentors are both qualified EQ practitioners and Middlefield is the proud owner of a Liverpool Inclusion Award.
