Class Teacher Key Stage Two (Maternity cover) - Loxwood Primary School
About Us
We love being a small village primary school and take advantage of the Wey and Arun Canal, which gives us the names of our houses. We have an amazing team of staff, children, parents and Governors who support our school. This is a truly special school where children and families come first. At Loxwood, we believe that every child deserves a nurturing and inspiring environment to flourish.
We are proud to have achieved the prestigious Platinum Sports Award, highlighting our commitment to promoting health and physical education through a wide range of sports activities. Our Well\-Being Team is dedicated to ensuring that every student's mental health and emotional needs are supported, fostering a caring atmosphere where everyone can thrive.
Utilising a Therapeutic Behaviour Approach, we create positive behavioural strategies that empower students to understand their feelings and develop self\-esteem. Moreover, our Woodland Learning initiative offers unique outdoor experiences that inspire creativity, resilience, and a connection to nature.
We have seven classes in the school, three in our infants: Oak (Reception), Cherry (Y1\) and Willow (Y2\) and four in our juniors: Rowan (Y3\), Sycamore (Y4\), Mulberry (Y5\) and Chestnut (Y6\). We value the role of our Assistant Teachers so there is currently one in each class to support the children's learning. We have a beautiful library stocked with an exciting range of books.
We make the most of our expansive outside environment which includes our woodland area complete with a secured pond, story circle and fire pit. Alongside all of this, the infant classes have their own outside area. Knowing the benefits of outdoor learning, we really value these spaces.
