Welcome from the Chair of Governors!

On behalf of the Governing Board, we would like to wish you a very warm welcome to Field End Infant School.

Field End Infant School is a positive and happy learning environment, and we are fortunate to have wonderful, spacious premises. We serve a very diverse community with varying levels of need. Our children are well behaved, courteous and inquisitive. They are enthusiastic in their response to learning and in the pride they take in being part of the school.

Our teachers are an effective, well established team. They are professional, friendly, fully committed and determined to provide children with every opportunity to enjoy each day and to achieve their full potential. We are proud of the stability of our staff team and work with them to promote a positive working environment, where they all have the potential to develop.

From your child’s first day in Nursery through to their last day in Year Two, their wellbeing, personal, social and academic development is our priority. Senior leaders and staff carefully monitor children’s progress to ensure they are achieving to their full potential. Our progressive curriculum ensures the children develop a broad and rich experience throughout their time at Field End. Even though our children are just beginning their journey in education, we have high expectations of what they are able to learn and achieve.

Our community is very much like an extended family at Field End Infants. We look forward to welcoming not only your child, but the whole family to our school.

Mrs. R. Contractor (Chair of Governing Body)
