Welcome to Syresham Church of England Primary School

A happy, caring and secure learning environment

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement on 4th January 2021, our school is open to children of Keyworkers and those who are vulnerable. We will be maintaining social distancing while in school as much as we can and also maintaining each class within their own bubble. We have set up an on-line learning programme for our pupils at home using our home-learning platform SeeSaw. This includes a live class registration session every day and at least one live teacher taught session every day. Each week we provide live/video PE, music and RE lessons and story time plus 1:1 catchup sessions with classteachers, phonics sessions with either the classteacher or a teaching assistant and telephone support for parents. We have also made some laptops available to those children who are struggling to access the home learning. Children in school can take time-out to chat to their classmates at home via a video link, helping them to keep in contact with each other.

Advice sheet to help parents with remote learning

We respectfully ask that anyone wishing to visit school ring and make an appointment first and that parents do not come into the building, but also make an appointment to see the class teachers or Mrs Clough. Visitors will all be asked to wear a mask whilst in the building and to leave contact details for the Government’s track and trace system.

To try to keep our children and staff safe while they are in school we are following the Government guidelines and have a comprehensive risk assessment in place which has been used to devise a ‘Minimising Risks Operational Plan’. These are both available for parents to read, please just ask at the school office for a copy. Please click the link below to help make a judgement on what to do if your child is unwell :

Virtual school tour

Virtual Nursery Tour

At Syresham Primary School we all work closely together, to share the care and education of your children at this very special time of their lives.

We are a small primary school, where everyone involved aims to provide the children and all who visit and work here with a happy, caring, secure and stimulating Christian community in which the children will grow and develop, and where they are respected and valued. Our school is designed to give all the children equal access to all learning opportunities. The whole school environment provides these opportunities, so that learning can occur at any time or place, as well as in the classroom. As a result the children find satisfaction in learning because it is real and relevant to them.

We encourage our children to become independent and to strive to achieve their full potential. This quality leads to greater self-motivation and self-discipline. The children are provided with many opportunities to make good relationships with other children and adults, both in the school and in the community.
