South Avenue Primary School Prospectus

2

Dear Parents, Welcome to South Avenue Primary School. We want the very best for our children. We want them to be happy in a secure, nurturing environment, where they feel valued and confident. Our caring and committed staff team offers good pastoral care to our pupils so that they are able to feel secure and happy, learn effectively, discover new talents and prepare effectively for the next phase of their education and future life. This prospectus is intended to help you understand more about our school and aims to answer any questions you may have about how our school is organised. The school, which opened in September 2014, was brought about by the amalgamation of South Avenue Infant and Junior Schools and is part of the Fulston Manor Academy Trust. In May 2017 the school had its first full OFSTED inspection following amalgamation and we were delighted to be awarded Good across all areas. The inspection report said: ‘All groups of pupils learn well and make good progress from their starting points in a range of subjects as wel l as in reading, writing and mathematics.’ ‘Pupils are friendly and polite and respectful of each other and adults. They feel safe and are well looked after.’ (OFSTED May 2017) We aim to ensure that your child will be happy, inspired and eager to learn during the time spent with us. Our motto is ‘We Discover, We Learn, We Grow’, and our school valu es are listen, encourage, ambitious, resilient, respectful and nurturing to ensure that the children are ready for a lifetime of learning. Children have access to a particularly wide range of school clubs at South Avenue Primary, including: ballet, football, tag rugby, gymnastics, choir and Irish dancing - to name just a few! Added to this, our commitment to provide ‘WOW’ learning experiences such as regular in school workshops and school trips enables us to provide a truly enriched and extended curriculum which motivates and enthuses our pupils.

We believe that the key to success is a positive relationship between parents, teacher and child. We hope that the information contained in this prospectus is helpful, but we warmly welcome visits to our school, so please do come to look round to see us at work.
