ABOUT THE SCHOOL | |
| | |
| Ireland Wood Primary School is a single form entry primary school for children between | |
| the ages of four and eleven. Nursery Education is provided on site by a DfES children's centre. | |
|
Although separate to the school, we have extremely close links and many of our children transfer | |
| from the Nursery into our Reception Class. | |
| | |
| Children are admitted into our reception in the year in which they are five. | |
| | |
| In the early years each class has a class teacher with additional support from a Classroom Assistant. | |
| | |
| Currently our Reception class has a class teacher and four Learning Support Assistants. | |

| The school is very spacious and is extremely well resourced. There are seven classrooms and very | |
| wide corridors that are used for a variety of teaching purposes. Other facilities include a library with | |
| internet connection for filtered access to the internet, two large halls (for P.E., Games, Drama, | |
| Collective Workshop and Assemblies) and a separate dining room. Every class has its own | |
| computer but we also have a networked computer suite which children use on a regular basis. | |
| | |
| We are a mainstream school but we have special resources and facilities for children with physical | |
| disabilities. These include a lift a physiotherapy room, ramped access to all entrances and 4 specially | |
| equipped shower/toilet rooms. We also have a large number of additional staff, which benefits all the | |
| children. | |
| | |
| The school also caters for children with medical needs and we have a School Nurse based | |
| permanently on site. The School Nurse has her own fully equipped Medical Room. | |
| | |
| The school is set within its own large grounds and has three hard surfaced play areas, good | |
| playing fields and an environmental area. We also make good use of the local sports centre which is | |
| only four hundred yards away. The school has a number of security features which limit access to the | |
| classrooms including a C.C.T.V. monitoring system and Solid Perimeter Fencing. |
