Our School

�

Our school aims to provide a warm, caring and purposeful environment within which all pupils feel confident and able to work and learn independently and collaboratively.

Children should be motivated to achieve their full educational potential whilst having a sense of self-worth and social awareness. We aim to achieve this through the dedication of our staff and the school's Christian ethos. We know parents play an active part in their child's education. We value this partnership both in and out of school.

We aim to ensure that our pupils acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes which allow them to develop.

Anne Frank Memorial Plaque

�

In 1999 a group of Jewish musicians came to visit school and were so impressed with our pupils that they suggested we may like to be the location to place a memorial plaque to Anne Frank.

On June 12th 1999, the date when Anne would have been 70 years old if she had survived the Bergen-Belsen Concentration camp (she died in March 1945, two months before liberation), the Lord Mayor and the local Jewish community planted a horse chestnut tree in her memory. The inscribed plaque celebrates Anne’s wonderful gift of being able to write. Her diaries will be with us all now forever.

During June 2006, we had a special ceremony to link with the Refuge week held by Bristol City each year. Once again, Anne Frank’s memory taught us so much about ourselves and how we treat others with respect and care.

The picture�on the right�shows the tree in June 2006 with Mrs Derham and Mrs Bishop, who is our international links co-ordinator.

Pre School Activity Sessions

�

These activity afternoons take place during the year before starting school. They are run by volunteer Mum's and are a valuable step that have ben very successful in helping children and parents feel comfortable about starting school. The sessions are designed to stimulate young minds and whislt being fun they help to familiarise your child with the school surroundings and environment.

The meetings are a great opportunity to chat to other parents, meet Mrs Derham again, purchase uniform, meet teachers and other staff and for your little one(s) to take home crafty makes, cards, pictures and a whole lot of new experiences!

The sessions are generally heldon the first Friday of every month from 2pm to 2.45pm and for this year are as follows:

March 9th, May 11th, June 8th and July 6th ( Teddy Bear's picnic by the log trail).

We must stress that attendance at these meetings does not guarantee your child a place at Westbury-On-Trym C Of E Primary School.
