School Council

At Carr Hill much of our ethos is rooted in the idea of ‘partnership’. We believe that our children should play a realistic role in the decision making process. With the formation of a School Council, the children have an opportunity to share their views and play an active role in school improvements.

Representatives are elected from Years 2 to 6 and meet fortnightly. Classmates share concerns or ideas with their class representatives for discussion at the meeting.

As issues are discussed children learn:

• To take part in discussions.
• To develop the skills of chairing meetings and taking notes.
• To gain confidence to make decisions and carry them out.
• To contribute actively to the success of their school.

Recent discussions have led to school improvements, the provision of fruit for all pupils, a ‘Buddies’ system for break times and the development of this web site. Currently we are discussing the implementation of playground games and the use of playground equipment.

OFSTED Report - June 2005

This is a very effective school. Very good teaching and a rich and vibrant curriculum ensure that pupils have extremely positive attitudes to learning and achieve very well. This year, standards in English, mathematics and science are below average. Outstanding leadership and management from the headteacher and dedicated staff and governors give the school the capacity to raise standards further. Pupils also benefit from very good links with parents, the community and other schools.

The school provides very good value for money.

School Mission Statement

In our school we believe that our single most important task is to contribute towards the happiness of our children within their learning environment and provide enriched opportunities to raise their achievements.

We aim to provide a welcoming, bright and stimulating environment in which all of our children can work co-operatively, supporting each other socially and academically.

Each child is regarded as having something worthwhile to contribute towards our school community irrespective of their social, academic, ethnic, religious or physical disability background.

Our work is seen as an important partnership with parents in the education of their children and the school continues to work towards maintaining its responsibility to the local community, which it is committed to support.
