ABOUT US

Crawford Village School is a Community Primary School, which caters for children aged 4-11 years. It is locally managed with a fully delegated budget. This booklet has been produced to provide information about our school. We believe it is very important for parents and teachers to co-operate and work together to make the education of children successful, worthwhile and enjoyable. We hope that over the years a partnership will be formed which will enrich your child’s education.

• Enable the individual pupils to fulfil their potential and develop independent, inquiring minds in an enjoyable learning environment where every child matters
• Teach respect for all citizens in our diverse modern society.
• Encourage an open, honest partnership between Staff, Parents, Children and Governors.

All children at Crawford School follow the Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum. The school has 10 computers for use by the children. We also have 3 interactive white-boards.

They are all linked to the Lancashire Intranet. They are used across the whole curriculum.

At key stage 2 we have a specialist science teacher who takes the class one afternoon per week.

Years 3 & 4 are taught separately from years 5 & 6 for literacy and numeracy. The school has a specialist music teacher who teaches both key stage 1 and key stage 2 children. We also have another specialist music teacher who comes in to teach key stage 2 children to play brass instruments. The children are encouraged to perform and the school has a Christmas concert for parents and local residents. The juniors perform each Summer at the Up Holland Proms.

As part of our PSHE curriculum we are involved in a behaviour and attendance programme. Staff and children all take part in implementing the Healthy School Scheme.

We encourage children to enjoy all forms of sporting activity. We hope to develop a competitive spirit, with the emphasis on taking part. It is important that our children understand that regular exercise and sporting activities can lead to many social activities and a healthy life style.

We have an after school sports club on 2 days a week. Year 5 & 6 children are offered the chance to go on a 3 day residential outdoor activity trip.
