| Welcome to Pilton the Bluecoat Junior School
We pride ourselves that Pilton Bluecoat is a
happy and friendly place, where children
learn in an enjoyable and purposeful
atmosphere. We work hard to ensure that
every child is treated in a fair and
considerate manner. We promote high
levels of security and safety with volunteers
and staff having appropriate child
protection clearance.
In our school personal and social
development are seen as no less important
that academic attainment. We therefore
encourage every child to develop their
talents and abilities in order to achieve
excellence.
|
| Our school is a Church of England School,
within the Diocese of Exeter, which seeks
to live by Christian Values.
Our aims are to:
- Nurture each individual.
- Accept each other within a caring and loving
community
- Aspire to the highest standards of teaching
and learning within a creative curriculum.
- Provide a safe and happy environment.
- Fully develop effective and meaningful links
with the home, the Church and the wider
community.
|
| There are 257 children on roll at the
school. They are organised into eight
classrooms, each with its own class
teacher. Throughout the school, children
are supported by a team of highly qualified
teaching assistants who work alongside the
class teachers. Learning support assistants
also supervise class work to enable the
class teachers to spend time in their
planning, preparation or assessment. |
| Our curriculum provides a broad and
balanced experience that promotes active
and interesting learning alongside personal,
social and spiritual development.
Throughout the year children will work on a
range of themes often with a geographical,
historical or scientific focus. Themes will
involve studies or visits away from school
and the use of visitors. They will be
enhanced by rich experiences in expressive
and performing arts and information
technology. This is underpinned by the
teaching of skills in literacy and numeracy. |
| We work very hard to ensure the
curriculum for our children is enjoyable,
relevant and active. We regularly invite
artists, musicians and theatre groups into
school to work with the children and we are
committed to a programme of outdoor
education that includes day and residential
trips. We do ask parents to contribute
towards the costs but charges are normally
voluntary and contributions are requested
in the context of the school governors
charging policy.
