School Learning Team 2016.2017

Welcome to Exminster Community Primary School

Thank you for your interest in our school. The children, staff, parents and governors have created our Rainbow Values at Exminster Community Primary School.

The EPICentre of Learning.

Enjoyment

We want every child to enjoy coming to school, to feel secure in their friendships and to be happy to learn.

Potential

We aim to help every child reach and exceed their full potential through providing a rich and varied range of learning opportunities within a broad and balanced curriculum. Learning is planned in every class to meet all needs. We aim to find children’s strengths and use these within school to develop children’s confidence and love of learning. ‘Be the best that we can be’.

Inclusion

We pride ourselves in being a highly inclusive school. Inclusion is about adapting for the needs of our learners – however minor or major their needs may be. This has benefits for all learners, learning to celebrate our differences and individuality.

Community

Exminster Community Primary School plays an integral part in life of our village. We maintain a strong family village school ethos. We feel it is essential that children develop an understanding of our school family, our local family, our national family and our international family. Diversity and respect are a golden thread within all that we do.

The new School Learning Team have been meeting every 2 weeks since the beginning of term.

We have been talking about GOAL (Get On And Learn) time, what is working well and what we enjoy about it. We have also been looking at what we want to do to develop it further.

We have been discussing writing in school and what we enjoy about it plus what would make it better.

We have been formulating questions to ask prospective candidates for a teaching job.

Our meetings follow a 2:6:2 formula. This means we spend 2 minutes explaining the issue, 6 minutes with possible solutions and 2 minutes deciding which solutions to try.

Our pupil voice is fed back to staff through staff SHOUT OUTs and staff meetings. We each have jobs to go back and discuss with our classes.

Our Year 5 and 6 School Learning Team are being trained as Learning mentors where we will be meeting younger children to talk about what they are proud of in their learning.
