Welcome to the website of Easton Garford Endowed CE School.

 

I am proud to have been the headteacher of Easton Garford School for over three years now.  It is an extremely happy, family-orientated school with a sensitive Christian ethos.  This is coupled with an atmosphere of high expectation which encourages the development of self respect and high attainment, and enables pupils to achieve their full potential.  Our staff get to know the children extremely well - they are given support when they are finding work difficult, and challenged to think even harder and develop their abilities if they are More Able or Gifted and Talented.

 

Learning

Teachers work hard to make learning interesting, imaginative, creative and meaningful.  We involve parents in their children's learning through class newsletters, homework, two progress reports during the year and a home-school booklet.  Volunteers are welcomed into the school to help listen to readers, work with a small group of children and to run after-school clubs if they feel able to.  To find out more about the Curriculum taught at our school, please click here.

 

Achievements

We have been successful in achieving the Activemark accreditation for the last three years, which reflects our strong focus on promoting physical activity, plus our involvement with sports coaching and the local School Sports Partnership.  We achieved the prestigious National Healthy Schools Status, and enjoy our annual Healthy School Week.  This has helped to raise awareness of the importance of healthy eating and healthy lifestyles.  To promote this further, we have introduced:

 

ü      Water For All – children are issued with a free Easton Garford water bottle, and encouraged to drink regularly throughout the day;

 

ü      Cool Milk At School – children are entitled to free milk until they reach the age of 5 years, at which point milk can be purchased;

 

ü      Toast at morning playtime - for a small charge, children are able to enjoy a slice of buttered toast;

 

ü      After-School Clubs which focus on physical activity and healthy eating (Football Skills, Dance/Aerobics, Cookery, Table Tennis, Rugby, etc.);

 

ü      Hot meals – this was introduced in the Summer Term 2008 and continues to be a popular alternative to packed lunches.
