Dear parents, carers, prospective parents and friends,

Welcome to Eastburn Junior & Infant School’s website incorporating our VLE (Virtual Learning Environment). We hope you find the information useful and that you enjoy supporting your children in following the links to enjoy enhancing their learning.

Here at Eastburn, the individual success of every child in the school is at the heart of all we do. Our mission statement, school aims and policies support the desire to maintain our excellent ethos. We want all the children to have high self-esteem, a sense of belonging, to feel safe and secure, to reach their full potential, and above all to enjoy their school life.

We have a caring and committed staff, who are continually striving to develop our creative skills based curriculum. This means that our curriculum is relevant to children’s interests and gives them involvement in the whole learning experience.

We have a strong emphasis on internationalism and global sustainability, holding the International School’s Award, enhanced by our international links with Grammar School Rawalpindi, Pakistan and Revival School, Uganda as well as an e-twinning award recognising our links with schools in France. We continue developing ourselves as a ‘Healthy School’ and carry on with all the fantastic work that gained us the ‘Eco School Green Flag Award’. We also enhance our curriculum with our focus on ‘Enterprise’ life skills, encouraging children to develop their creativity and initiative in projects aimed at changing both themselves, by developing essential life and learning skills and the school, by contributing to school development. We raised funding for a MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) and secured Lottery funding for its completion in Summer 2012. We are now looking to raise funds to improve our Reception Class and Key Stage 1 cloakroom provision. Through such projects we are able to strengthen links with parents, carers and the community, so we would love you to catch the children’s enthusiasm and get involved.

You can find out more about us through our newsletters which are posted fortnightly onto this website.

We can assure you of our full commitment to your child’s education.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Jan Elliott
Headteacher
