• Ofsted visit to our school

  Wed 24 Nov 2021

  We have had the latest Ofsted report following their visit to our school on 2nd and 3rd November.

   

  Here are some headlines:

  • We remain to be judged as a Good School.

   

  Our strengths include:

  • Pupils say that they like school and that they feel safe because bullying is rare.
  • Maths and Early Reading are taught well.
  • Reading is a top priority in our school.
  • Safeguarding is effective.

   

  Our next steps are:

  • To plan our curriculum more carefully so that the sequence of learning is more clear.
  • To develop our subject leadership of the broader curriculum subjects such as history, geography, science and RHSE.
  • To develop a more effective way of checking on the learning of key knowledge, skills and vocabulary in each year group.

   

  Ofsted will return in one to two years to check on our progress against the Section 5 framework - a full inspection of the school.

   

  Thank you for your ongoing support and, with this in mind, we will continue to move forwards to achieve our ultimate goal of making Claremont the best school possible for all of our children and families.

  Mini Police - Hate Crime Awareness Week

  Last week, as part of National Hate Crime Awareness Week, PCSO’s Thomas and PCSO Oram visited two of our Mini Police schools to speak to our Mini Officers about Hate Crime.

  The children, at Djanolgy Academy Sherwood Rise and Claremont Primary School were introduced to Hate Crime and what this means to them. The lesson ended with the children showing ‘Things we have in common’, by talking about the activities they enjoy doing and making a chain linking these activities. From both schools, we have made a large flower which shows the children having lots in common with children from the other school.

  PCSO Thomas said “We were both really impressed with the children’s understanding of peoples differences and the importance of being respectful to each other. We also made sure the children had an understanding of who can help if they do witness or if they are victims of a hate incident or crime themselves. It’s been really good to get back into our Mini Police schools meeting the new intake of children, and we are looking forward to working with them this year and to sharing our activities with everyone.”

• PTA

  Fri 15 Oct 2021

  Parent Teacher Association

   

  We are setting up the Claremont Primary School PTA and are looking for a lively group of volunteers.

   

  Our main function as a PTA is to support the school by raising as much money as we can to enhance, enrich and improve learning experiences for the children, such as funding school trips and upgrading/buying new equipment.

  We will also exist to bring the communities of school and home closer together because it makes sense for parents to be involved in the life of their chosen school.

   

  We are looking for parents to become part of the committee, be class reps, help out/organise events, translators, there is something for everyone. Perhaps you have a professional skill you could help us out with? The more people involved, the more we can achieve.

   

  We’d love to hear from you, we can be contacted at ClaremontSchoolPTA@outlook.com by all parents wanting information about the PTA or any queries you have.
