Mountfield Primary School Competitors

A warm welcome to Brackenwood Junior School. We are a two form entry, junior school academy in the heart of Bebington, catering for boys and girls aged 711. Brackenwood Junior School aims to provide every child with rich and relevant learning opportunities through high quality teaching and through a curriculum that promotes breadth, balance, creativity, collaboration and enterprise. We are committed to meeting the individual needs of all pupils in a safe, exciting and stimulating environment. As a Unicef Rights Respecting School, we respect and value the ideas that all children have, and believe that every child has much to offer their school and wider community. We actively promote Learning for Life as our school motto, and find many opportunities for children to invest in themselves as citizens of the future. We seek to develop children socially and morally, and to extend their spiritual and cultural understanding beyond their immediate experience. In so doing, we hope all children adopt safe and healthy lifestyles, develop resilience and confidence, value and respect others and are given the best possible chance to go on and achieve their hopes and ambitions. We hope our website provides you with an insight into our school and what we provide for our children.

We are a large Primary School in West Norfolk situated on the outskirts of the busy market town of Downham Market. Although near to the edge of the Fens, Downham has an established and well supported rail link to London and Peterborough via Ely opening exciting opportunities to explore different cultures and environments quite easily. We are proud to say that Hillcrest is a progressive and innovative school which has a strong emphasis on high standards and creativity across the curriculum. Our vision is that every person who enters our school feels a buzz and thrill about learning. Children, Teachers, Teaching Assistants, Office Staff, Parents, Governors and the wider community recognise that it centres on everyone learning, co-operating, playing and developing together. We want our learners to be successful, confident and responsible contributors to society through creativity in all areas of the curriculum. The chosen mission statement 'growing together, achieving together' encapsulates the aim to nurture all those who join our school, to produce successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens who can work together. We have supportive and dedicated staff who, through establishing an attitude and code of conduct, will enable your child to become a valued member of society. This works best when home and school work together in partnership. The facilities and opportunities we can offer you and your child are excellent. We intend to maintain our traditions, excellent behaviour and high standards to ensure that Hillcrest remains a happy and successful school. An effective learning journey requires a joint venture between pupils, parents and educators. It is vital that you select a school that you feel that you can support. At Hillcrest we have created a school in which striving for excellence is key. By choosing Hillcrest you are showing your support and commitment to our values and expectations.

Dobwalls is a happy, vibrant school located in the heart of a rural Cornish village approximately 2 miles from the nearest town, Liskeard. The school has a long history dating back to 1880 when the first register was taken on Monday 5th July and contained the names of 52 local children. Since then the school has grown in both size and number; currently we have 186 pupils on roll from Foundation Stage (age 4) through to Year 6 (age 11). The school is organised into 7 classes which means that the classes only contain pupils from one year group. The teachers provide appropriate levels of work for all ages and abilities within their classes and our pupils are encouraged to achieve their maximum potential. Gradually the school has grown from the original small 3 room building opened in 1880 to the site you see today; the latest project, a new Nursery building having been completed in May 2011. (see Nursery) The grounds still look out onto the surrounding countryside but they too have changed and now incorporate an array of play equipment, cultivated garden areas, a sensory area, nature trail and wild life area. Throughout this growth we have retained the strong links with the village community which began over 130 years ago. Staff and pupils have regular involvement in local events and are constantly reaching out to create new links beyond Dobwalls.
