Dear Parents,
The Prospectus introduces the life and work of Black Firs Primary School.
Our School opened in 1971; it has firm foundations of which we are proud. We believe in learning for life. Learning is a journey which will start at Black Firs, with us providing your child with the skills to become independent learners for life. We regard literacy, numeracy and computing as our cornerstone, building upon these basics to provide a broad and relevant curriculum, which enhances children's self-esteem and stimulates in them a growth mind-set. We are fully inclusive in our philosophy and welcome all the children in our community.We aim for high quality in every aspect of our 'learning community'.
We are forward thinking; our aim is to prepare your children to value and embrace their future. We endeavour to create a purposeful and friendly environment in which everyone is assured of individual care and attention. We motivate children with praise for a task well done and encouragement to keep on striving to be better. Black Firs is a place where it is safe to make mistakes; it is safe to succeed; it is safe to be yourself.
We look forward to welcoming you to our School. We believe that a close partnership with parents is essential for your child to develop a love of learning and for life. I would be delighted to talk to you about your child's education and show you and your child our School. Please telephone the School office for an appointment.
Yours sincerely,
Martin Casserley
Headteacher
