School Uniform
We encourage the wearing of school
uniform. It has deliberately been kept very simple.
Boys and Girls
Tenacres polo shirts, sweatshirts, fleeces, cardigans and book bags.
Worn with grey trousers and skirts, and blue and white check dresses for girls in the summer.
Available at Clive Mark shop in Redditch Town Centre or online at www.clivemark.co.uk. Alternatively at www.yourschooluniform.com.
All items of clothing should be marked with your child's name. It is useful to supply your child with an overall for creative work. An old shirt worn backwards is ideal.
PE Kit
Plimsolls (pull on type for younger children) for indoor wear. Trainers should be worn for outdoor activities.
Boys: Shorts (preferably white or blue) and a tee-shirt (indoor) or football shirt (outdoor) preferably white.
Girls: Shorts (preferably white or blue) or games skirt and a tee-shirt, leotards for movement and dance.
Tracksuits/warm tops and joggers are needed for outdoor games in winter for both boys and girls.
Pierced earrings or other jewellery should not be worn on PE, games or swimming days.
Ofsted Inspection
Our last full Ofsted Inspection was in
October 2011. The school was judged as 'good' overall, with some outstanding element.
Some comments from the report include:
- The children get off to an exceptional start in the Reception classes.
- All groups of pupils, and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress and achieve well.
- Parents and carers are pleased with the education provided for their children.
- Pupils feel safe and develop personal skills well, including good spiritual, moral, social and cultural awareness.
- Behaviour throughout the school is good and well managed.
- Pupils have an extremely well-developed understanding of how to stay healthy and are happy to take on responsibilities within their school community.
- The Early Years Foundation Stage is an outstanding aspect of the school, particularly in the use of the well-resourced outside area and the child-focused curriculum.

Parents' Meetings
At the beginning of every term, teachers in each year group invite parents to an informal meeting in the school hall to talk about the work they are going to be covering with the children and how parents can help at home.
