Welcome to
our School
We are a very
popular and vibrant 3 form entry primary school (90 places per year group) on
the Hertfordshire/Luton border. We have invested heavily to ensure that this is
a quality learning environment for the children and a wonderful workplace for
the whole staff. We are continually developing our culture so that
we can embed excellence at all levels.
The school is easily
accessed via A505 with a No. 12 bus that stops directly outside the school
gates. Our location is close to both Inspire Sports and Stopsley
Village facilities.
We are situated close to
Putteridge High School and Putteridge Community Nursery is housed within the
school grounds. A separate ‘Extra Care’ club also operates within the school
building, offering before and after-school provision.
Philosophy
& Vision
The phrase ‘... everything
should be within the child’s outstretched hand....’ summarises effectively
our underlying philosophy. If all children are given an achievable challenge in
all their work, they will progress well.
We want all children to
leave Putteridge Primary School as fully independent learners and therefore
everything we do must be focused upon highly effective teaching and learning.
Our site
Originally built as two separate schools, Putteridge Primary School began its life in September 2011 when the Infant and Junior school amalgamated. We are very fortunate to have large outdoor space which includes separate Foundation Stage, KS1 and KS2 playgrounds together with an extensive playing field. We are currently developing our outdoor area as part of the OPAL project (Outdoor Play and Learning). The site also houses a purpose built Art room, Library and Family room.
We can
offer:
·
A happy,
warm and friendly school that strives for everyone to succeed to the best of
their ability
·
A rich and
stimulating curriculum
·
Knowledgeable,
dedicated, and welcoming colleagues and a great place to begin or develop your
career further, in a happy and professional environment.
·
Extremely
polite and well-behaved children, supported and nurtured by staff
·
A
well-resourced school that is focused on children becoming effective and
empowered learners
·
A strong
community ethos, well supported by parents
What Ofsted
Inspectors said about the school: (Quotes from our last Inspection
February 2019)
“A strong team of leaders who are committed to
providing the best quality of education for the pupils”
“During the
inspection, it was clear that pupils are excited about their learning”
“ Throughout
the school, pupils in every class focus intently on their activities and are
willing to discuss their learning. As one pupil told the inspector, ‘Teachers
think of interesting ways to make our learning fun and memorable.’”
“ Parents
agree that pupils are well looked after and happy at school. One comment from
Parent View, Ofsted’s online questionnaire stated: ‘I would not hesitate to
recommend this school. My children are well supported in all areas, meaning
they feel happy and safe and are therefore making great progress.’”
“Leaders make
sure that the promotion of safeguarding throughout the school has a high
profile”
“Pupils say
that they feel safe because they understand how to work and play together.
Pupils understand how to stay safe in a range of situations, including
online."
"All
parents consider that pupils are safe at school because adults listen to their
concerns and care for the children. A parent’s comment on Parent View said:
‘The staff are always approachable and find time for everyone. Members of the
senior leadership team greet children daily, which I find a lovely caring touch
that reflects the school ethos.’"
