Dame Catherine Harpur’s School Limited is a company limited by guarantee, number 4093636. The Charity, registered number 1084145, was incorporated on 22[nd] October 2000.
Objects and Policies
The school is open to all children of nursery and primary school age, regardless of gender, politics, race or religion, in small classes, focusing on individualism and creating the ‘all round child.’
Review of the school’s development, activities and achievements
The school continues successfully, with numbers at around 45-50 pupils, spread across Preschool, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. As well as working alongside the National Curriculum, pupils have experienced a diverse range of activities in the last year. These have included - topic-based trips,multsports and outdoor learningwhich has now been developed as part of the school curriculum.
The school has developed home-schooling and flexi schooling options, as well as full time education. There are long term home schoolers, attending throughout the year, 2 days per week, and others just staying for short blocks of time, but this has been a very popular way of introducing new children to the school, as some have started with home school sessions and then moved on to be flexi or full time. Flexi schoolers attend 3 or 4 days per week and are on the admissions roll at the school.
The school has also continued with before and after school care for those working parents needing an extended school day for their children. Staff have shared the responsibility of staffing this between them.
The school continues to build their links with the local community.
