Children's Welcome

Pupils enjoy coming to school, they feel cared for and know that staff will look after them.

"We treat people how we would like to be treated" 

  • We have interactive plasma screens, great Wifi, 160 iPads and a class set of Chromebooks!
  • We have an exciting big playing field, an AstroTurf pitch and an adventure trail.
  • We have lots of visitors, and we enjoy learning in lots of different ways.
  • We learn together in classes about exciting things.
  • We have six classes in school and a Resource Provision.
  • We are happy to be part of North Lakes School and feel safe.
Pupil voice groups

As part of our Global Development plan, we have seven pupil voice groups across the whole school. 

Our groups include:

  • Health Group 
  • Positivity Group 
  • Environment Group 
  • Community 1 and 2
  • Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Group
  • Democracy Group 
  • Mini Police

We meet about once a month and discuss the things that 'bother us'. We then decide what we can do to change these 'bothers' and we put our ideas into actions! Last year, we established a healthy tuck shop, designed and delivered cards to our local community, we made and sold bath salts in recycled jars, and we displayed positive word searches around our school environment. Our Positivity Group were excited to provide ice lollies for the whole school and our Environmental group began to develop our school grounds with the aim of producing an edible garden to increase our lunch offer!

Clubs and sports

We have lots of after-school clubs, and we have great school teams which compete in many sports, including rugby, netball, cricket, football, tennis, hockey and gymnastics.

We also have a very talented school choir!

Golden rules

We have some Golden Rules to follow in school that help us to learn together happily and to stay safe. Our most important Golden Rule is: We treat others how we would like to be treated!

The 5R's and building learning power

To build our learning power we think about five special animals who teach us about the '5Rs'.

  1. We try not to give up, like a PENGUIN, that is always RESILIENT.
  2. We try new things like a BEE, which is a RISK TAKER.
  3. Like a SPIDER, we try to think of our own ideas, and join up the ideas we have to be RESOURCEFUL.
  4. We think carefully about what we have learned, like an OWL, who is REFLECTIVE.
  5. And like an ELEPHANT, we work hard at our RELATIONSHIPS, getting on with others around us.
