Notley Green Primary School is a vibrant, family focused communitiy where everybody is a learner. Our children are happy, behave well and love being at school.  Through a high standard of education they develop effective knowledge, skills and attributes that enable them to grow into confident, responsible and compassionate members of society. Children find their passion for learning  within our classrooms; a fact that has them skipping through our gates each day!

We know that effective education is the key to securing promising futures for our children in what continues to be a fast changing world, where jobs and careers are increasingly global rather than just local or national. Many of these jobs are yet to be created or imagined. Knowledge and skills do not stand still and no school can afford to be complacent in a worldwide competitive environment. We know this means we have to keep moving forward – keeping children equipped with the latest skills and knowledge they need to succeed while encouraging a love of learning that prepares them for the next stage of their education.

Our curriclum is focused on children mastering the core skills of literacy and mathematics through a broad range of subjects and themes.  We believe that if children are interested in what they are learning about and inspired by the activities they take part in, they will be able to achieve their potential. This enrichment is provided through rich educational visits, such as trips to the Globe theatre, Colchester castle or a range of wildlife areas.  Our ethic of excellence approach also enables children to experience real life celebrations of their learning through whole school art galleries,museums and festivals. We believe that school should feel like an adventure for our children and provide opportunities for them to become the best version of themselves that they can possibly be.

Education is most effective where there is a clear partnership between home and school. We therefore encourage all parents to be an active part of their child’s learning as well as feeling welcome within the whole school community.
