We are delighted you have taken time to find out about our school. It is a privilege to be Executive Headteacher of Scholes Junior and Infant School and along with our Head of School Mrs Ward-Fox and Associate Senior Leader Mrs Sharpe, I am proud to lead such a wonderful school where everyone places children first. Ensuring the happiness and well-being of all our pupils is central to everything we do.
We believe that a strong foundation in Early Years and Key Stage 1 is crucial for preparing children for the next stage in their education. This includes developing interpersonal skills and attributes that support them in becoming enthusiastic and capable learners. As children progress through school, we offer various leadership opportunities, such as play leader, librarian, school councillor and reading buddy to help them grow in confidence and responsibility.
We are also passionate about providing a wide range of sporting opportunities for our students. These include both competitive events and 'try-it' activities, encouraging all children to participate, discover their interests, and develop their talents.
In addition to our academic and sporting programs, we offer a variety of wider opportunities for our children and families. These include diversity workshops, coffee mornings, annual performances for all children, and educational visits, such as a whole school trip to the pantomime. We also host parent workshops to support behaviour and children's mental health, ensuring our community is well-equipped to nurture every child's development. These activities help to enrich our children’s experiences and foster a strong sense of community.
We hope you find the information on our website useful and that it marks the beginning of a successful partnership in your child's education. We are extremely proud of our school and would be thrilled to welcome you as part of our school community.
Best Wishes,
Miss Donna Barker
Executive Headteacher
