Hello!

Welcome to our school and our website. We hope you will find the information here useful, whether you already have a child in school or are considering us for your child's first steps in education.

We are a friendly and nurturing school located in Earlsheaton; a small village near the centre of Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. Ofsted inspected us most recently in May 2016, where we were delighted to maintain our overall 'GOOD' rating. We cater for children aged 4 to 7 and currently have 120 places in 4 classes, some mixed-age. We are usually full in all year groups but if you are interested in a place then please contact our office to ask about the Kirklees Admissions procedure and how to apply to be added to the waiting list. 

We offer a broad and stimulating curriculum, an on-site breakfast club and a variety of after school activities through the year. We believe that the first few years in school are the most crucial in setting the tone for the rest of your child's education and we take this responsibility very seriously. We are committed to helping every child discover and unlock their potential and look forward to working in close partnership with parents and carers to give our children the best possible start in life. 

We are proud to hold the Leeds Carnegie Mental Health in Schools Award at Gold Level, the Arts Award at Gold Level, and The Eco Schools Bronze Award. All of these things enhance our excellent academic provision and help our children grow into resilient, curious, confident individuals. 

We are very proud of our little school and can't wait to tell you all about it! If you would like to find out more then go to the menu to explore our website. If you would like to vist school then please call the office to make an appointment and we would be delighted to show you around. 

We look forward to welcoming you into our family!

Mrs Wendy Kelly

    Please ignore facebook rumours
    Dear Parents/Carers I'm aware there is some absolute twaddle making the rounds on Facebook at the moment suggesting that if a child shows covid symptoms at school, they will be spirited away to a testing centre and you won't be told where they are. I really hope that if you have seen this, you will have realised what complete rubbish it is and not have been upset by it. Let me be clear- if your child shows symptoms at school, we will take them out of their classroom (just like we would if they were being sick), we will phone you to collect them as quickly as you can and ask you to arrange a test. I can promise you that YOUR CHILD WILL NOT BE SENT ANYWHERE WITHOUT YOU! I hope that anyone who has been worrying about this now feels better. We are all ready to welcome your children back on Tuesday 8th so we can get things back to as close to normal as we can. We've really missed seeing you all and I'm fairly sure you're probably looking forward to having a bit of peace and quiet again! Enjoy the last few days...

    September Arrangements
    Dear Parents/Carers You'll be aware that the latest guidance was released yesterday about how schools will be able to run from September. Please bear with us a little longer for details of this, as I need to agree our plan with staff and governors. You will receive a detailed summary of what our plan for September is with your child's annual report, which will be sent/given to you soon. However, unless any further government changes are announced between now and September, I can confirm that ALL children will be able to come back to school at once, as the restriction of having only 15 in a pod will have been lifted. From September, children will be in class pods of 30, instead. I hope that knowing this makes it easier for our working parents to plan ahead.

    Free School Meal Vouchers
    Those parents entitled to Free School Meal Vouchers- the vouchers from last week have apparently been emailed out to you- the company issuing them suggest to check your junk or spam folders- you're looking for a sender that says 'noreply@edenred.co.uk'. The order I placed on Sunday for this week is still in the queue to be processed and hopefully should be sent out by midnight tonight. I'm so sorry you're all having issues with it- we are not the only school having problems. Edenred, the company chosen by the government to run this scheme is apparently overwhelmed and struggling to cope with the demand. Hopefully they will bet able to get themselves running more efficiently soon. But please check your junk folders for last week's voucher. Please not this is only for parents who are eligible for traditional Free School Meals, not the Universal Infant Free School Meal scheme.

    School Ping update
    Dear parents and carers, SchoolPing will be implementing a forced log out to all SchoolPing app users on April 22nd 2020 in order to apply improvements and updates to the app. On this date, users who have an old version of SchoolPing will be logged out of the app and you will need to upgrade to the latest version to log in again. Before this date please ensure that you have verified your email address so that if you need to reset your SchoolPing password, you will be able to do so. To check your email address is correctly verified, please enter the SchoolPing app, open the side menu and click 'settings'. Then click 'my account' and check that the email address in this area is verified. If it is not, a 'resend verification email' option will appear. Once the verification email has been sent, please find it in your email inbox (please also check your junk folder) and then click the link in the email to verify your email address. Please also note that Android devices running versions of Android older than version 6 will no longer be able to use the SchoolPing app because Google no longer support the updates. If this applies to you, please use the web version of SchoolPing to receive your messages. Kind regards, The School Office Team

    Day 5
    We've made it to the end of the first week. Well done everyone. Thank you for sending me the photos of all the home learning going on, I've put these on our Twitter account. Now we have our private facebook pages for each class you can upload to there as well and share it with the class. Once again let me stress that there is no expectation for how much or how little formal school work you do, you know your children best and what they are in the mood for. Also be prepared for some challenging behaviour to start showing as the novelty wears off and the reality of being confined to the house and garden sets in. Be patient, be kind and don't blame yourself or them. I'm attaching a parent guide to Covid 19 that covers issues like this! Have a good weekend and keep in touch. Stay healthy!
