This is the front entrance to our school. Our school is a listed building located in a beautiful rural location in the historic village of Caledon. Our grounds overlook fields and mature trees. Our neighbours include rabbits, a squirrel and lambs in the springtime.  

 

We have two hard surface playgrounds with painted playground games and a grass pitch with goalposts. We added a storage shed to store our equipment for positive play. The children in Foundation also make good use of our recently added outdoor covered play area in Play Based Learning. Mrs Wilson and Mr Clarke lead our Eco-Schools programme and help pupils to maintain our recycling programme. The children enjoy planting trees and looking after our grounds.  

 

Completed in 2005 as part of the extension project carried out by the EA, the multi-purpose hall has proven to be a valuable asset to the school. The spacious hall with its extensive range of gym equipment is used in sports and physical education activities. With stage curtains and separate stores for our school stage the hall allows us to hold our assemblies, host visiting groups and perform fantastic Christmas concerts. The hall also serves as a dining area at lunch time. 

 

This is where the children in the early Foundation Stage learn and play. The room is bright and attractive with a wealth of resources to develop early knowledge, skills and independence. The room is organised into zones for Activity Based Learning including writing, reading, creative, small world, construction and role play areas. The children love using the Interactive Whiteboard to enhance their learning. A learning board and visual timetable help pupils to take responsibility for their own learning. Mrs Orr teaches this class.
