Partnership in the Community
About Us | Admissions Policy | Leading the Way Through Learning with ICT School Details | School Values
The school values the links that it has developed with the community and continues to explore avenues to foster these further. To support this process the school improvement plan has identified a working party of staff to evaluate this and make recommendation.
We continue to work closely with our partner primary schools and secondary schools (Alderman Blaxill and Philip Morant).
Future projects include:
-
Joint staff training
-
Governor liaison meetings
-
International school improvement programme
-
Inter school sports
Sporting links with the major sports clubs in Colchester are well established and are set to continue. These include:
-
Colchester Rugby Club and through them Saracens RFC
-
Colchester United FC - football in the community
-
Colchester and East Essex Cricket Club - kwik cricket programme and school coaching
-
The Ormiston Centre - netball and kwik cricket
Annual visits take place at Twickenham, the home of Rugby, to watch the autumn internationals. Matches seen have included Tonga, Italy, Argentina and Samoa.
Annual visits are made to our partner playgroups by Foundation class teachers to support a sensitive induction of our new pupils in to the school.
Through our harvest festival donations of food we were able to support senior residents in our immediate community.
We are always seeking to promote links with the wider business community and the working party will be actively pursuing this idea.
