to Lingfield!Welcome

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the Lingfield Primary School prospectus. I hope the contents provide you with a good overview of the education our school offers pupils. Lingfield is a very successful, friendly school where staff have ambitious expectations for the children in their care and, consequently, children thrive and succeed. As a school community we constantly strive to improve provision for pupils.

As you read through this brochure, I trust what will unfold is an indication of the philosophy of our school. We are committed to ensuring every child achieves their potential so that they are prepared academically, personally and socially for the next stage of their journey into adulthood. Our school is built on the values of Respect, Resilience and Relationships enabling all to “Learn to Achieve”.

Thank you for your interest in our school and please take the opportunity to visit us. You will be most welcome.

Yours faithfully,

Julia TappinHead Teacher

“Joe has come home in such a great mood! He was thrilled to be invited to perform on the

piano at assembly next week. Opportunities like this are so

important for children and Joe can’t quite believe he has been chosen to undertake such an

important job thank you!”

VisionOur Vision for Lingfield Primary School is to make excellence habitual so that all members of the school community value the importance of learning. For both children and adults, high social and academic expectations are at the heart of this learning culture. The principles of respect for each other; resilience in the face of adversity and the importance of good relationships underpin our philosophy.

Home LearningLearning continues in every part of our lives. 85% of your child’s time is spent outside school so it is important to make good use of this opportunity. Teachers will set relevant homework. In line with the Parent Forum, this will be in the form of basic skills practice (reading, spelling and mental maths, including times tables) completed, marked and returned in the homework book and a creative project based approach. It is critical that children read every day and have help from home to learn their basic number bonds and multiplication tables.

“We have fun staff, good resources, an awesome playground, nice facilities and a

lovely head teacher!”PUPIL

“What a brilliant and memorable day Australia Day

was for Year2. Hearing that the children had an aeroplane ride,

including a passport and customs, a ticket and refreshments really showed this to be an experience rather than a typical lesson.”
