Posted on: 27/09/2019A Message from Gareth NationThe term is well underway! Children at Buckland St. Mary School have made a fantastic start to the school year and are demonstrating our core values: Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Perseverance, Courage and Tolerance. Classes are working hard on their project of ‘Change’. They’ve been taking part in a variety of activities, learning about the human body and changes in the world around us . The teachers devised this ‘Gateway’ based on the ‘Intent’ that was explored last academic year. Parents, staff and children all contributed their thoughts on what should form the foundations of learning at Buckland School to help prepare the children for the next stage of their lives. We are also sharing and embedding our revised Christian Vision: ‘That they may have life, life in all its fullness.' John 10:10 At Buckland St. Mary C of E Primary School everyone matters. We strive to be an inclusive community providing an outstanding education for all. Our lives are enriched through the teaching of Christian Values to grow as global citizens in an ever-changing world. The Ethos and Welfare Committee, staff and children all contributed towards this vision. Please support your child/children to understand its importance. It informs everything we do at Buckland St. Mary C of E School. What a fantastic start to 2019! As you may know, our After School Club is currently running on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3:10 pm - 5:30 pm. To date, staff have supervised this on an ad-hoc basis and any attempts at recruitment have been unsuccessful. This provision is a supportive service to parents and something we wish to continue. To this end, if any parents (who are ideally already volunteers at the school), are interested in being paid to cover After School Club, please contact me at the earliest opportunity.Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
Posted on: 6/09/2019A message from Gareth NationWelcome back everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful summer holiday. It’s lovely to see the children returning to school looking so smart and full of energy. A warm welcome to new parents and children. As always, we have an ‘open door policy’ and our aim is to be a welcoming and friendly school. If you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in contact with me or your class teacher via the school office. Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
