Our School

Print this page

We are a two-form entry primary school with a nursery, in Erdington, North Birmingham.  Our aim is to give parents and carers a wider view of the life and work of our school through this website.
Communications between home and school are most important.  We hope that you find this website both informative and useful.  Education is a shared responsibility and we value a good relationship with our parents and the wider school community.  Support from home is invaluable, and we consider it vital that the school, the children and their families work together in order to enjoy success and happiness during the child's formative years.
 
We currently have about 320 pupils in the junior and infant departments, with 30 full-time and 60 part-time pupils in the nursery.  We have an open-door approach for parents and carers.  The first point of contact is usually our Office Manager, Mrs Allen.

The Buildings and Grounds

 

Our buildings and grounds are well maintained and we invest a lot of money in maintenance and improvement.  We have recently installed air-conditioning in the classrooms and ICT suite.  Shelters have been constructed for parents/Carers use during inclement weather.  A hard-working body of cleaners led by our caretaker, Mrs. Deegan, keep the school and grounds clean and tidy.  The school buildings and grounds are a no-smoking area. No dogs, except guide dogs, are allowed in the school grounds.

 

We invest in our buildings and grounds to make them a safe and secure environment for the children.
