Providing regular booster sessions for Year 4, 5 and 6 children throughout the year.
Running a high quality intervention programmes to enable children to close gaps in their knowledge of reading, writing and maths.
Delivering a Forest School curriculum to enable all pupils to develop experiential language.
Providing heavily subsidised educational visits for all classes to enrich the curriculum.
Maintaining our swimming pool so that we can provide free swimming lessons to all children every year.
Providing specialist learning support to children with Dyslexia and their parents.
Running parental engagement sessions to promote involvement in children’s learning.
Employing a school counsellor to help promote children's emotional well being.
Contributing to our Pastoral Support Assistant role to provide support to families and children.
Free School Milk available to all disadvantaged children.
