At Ward Green we realise that starting school is an important step in your child’s life. We aim to make your child’s stay with us as happy, enjoyable and successful as we possibly can. We have a shared ethos where everyone is valued, supported and respected. We provide children with a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment where the children receive high quality teaching and learning with an expectation that everyone achieves their full potential. We are proud to be part of Hoyland Common Academy Trust (HCAT) for further information about the trust please click here.
To support children in returning to school after COVID-19 we have designed and implemented our personalised recovery curriculum.
During COVID-19 and the periods of closure the school implemented a remote learning offer which consisted of 3 live lessons every school day from the 2nd day of closure. CPD for staff had taken place in the prior term to ensure an effective method of teaching using remote technology was in place swiftly, children were engaged and motived to participate which they did using TEAMS and SEESAW. Communication between school and home was crucial to ensure children continued to make progress in their learning. To maintain community cohesion events were organised in the community to raise everyone’s morale and ensure the school remained the focal point for support during this difficult time.
The COVID-19 catch up premium has been utilised to provide additional quality first teaching which is closing the gap to national in reading, writing and maths.
