Welcome from the Head teacher... I am very proud of this school. Farsley Farfield Primary School has a huge amount to offer your child; unique qualities that will combine to offer an exciting, rich and varied education. Key reasons for choosing this school: A highly skilled, committed and caring staff; Happy, well-mannered and motivated children; Outstanding school grounds, developed in a manner that promotes sport, care for the environment and creative imagination; Good academic standards; A firm commitment to the arts; Cutting edge ITT throughout the school; Effective home-school links with a very active PTA. The school has been recognised by many bodies for awards such as Healthy Schools Standard Level 3, English and Maths Quality Mark; Investors in Pupils; Stephen Lawrence Education Award and Activemark Gold for high standards and quality provision in Physical Education. We are now working towards further recognition in the fields of the arts, inclusion and I.T. I hope that this prospectus gives you a feel for the school, but there is no substitute for coming to the school and seeing for yourself. Please contact us, and I will be delighted to show you round and discuss your child’s future. Peter Harris Head teacher September 2006
Foundation Stage... Our Foundation Stage is a fabulous place for any child to start their education. Consisting of Nursery and Reception classes, the Foundation Stage has a very creative and play-based curriculum. Areas of provision are carefully planned to provide your child with a broad range of experiences; some of these teacher directed, many of these self directed. We have a 26 place Nursery with children attending either the morning session, 9.00 a.m.-11.30 a.m. or the afternoon session, 12.45 p.m. - 3.15 p.m. You can arrange with our on-site private nursery ‘Little People’ for your child to be taken to Nursery (or any other year group) and be collected as necessary. See section on Extended Schools In 2005-6, the nursery was oversubscribed and the school adopted the same admission criteria as Education Leeds uses for older children, i.e. siblings and proximity (children with acute special needs and those referred to us directly through social services have priority beyond this). The Reception, classes build upon the curriculum as established in the Nursery, and gradually introduce more structured ‘lessons’ as the year progresses. By the end of this year, your child should have achieved a wealth of ‘Early Learning Goals’, and be well prepared for the increasingly demanding curriculum of Key Stage 1. The Foundation Stage has a separate enclosed playground that has its own Adventure Trail. Fresh air and the stimulation of senses and the enquiring mind are cornerstones of our vision for early years education.
