From the Calcot Junior School
Welcome to the webpage for the Calcot Schools, I would like to say. Together, our nursery, infant school, and junior school provide children with outstanding support during their early years of education. The school is thriving, and enrollment is rising yearly. Currently, we are enrolled in over 600 students. Our school's learning environment and culture are well-supported by many families in our diversified catchment. Our kids behave in an excellent manner, and we are happy of how well the parents, staff, and kids work together. At Calcot, the kids come first, and everything we do is focused on enhancing kids' learning chances, enhancing kids' lives with the opportunities we provide, and inspiring kids to be enthusiastic learners. We put in a lot of effort to make sure our kids receive the education and spiritual care they need to realise their full potential. We urge parents to visit the school and participate actively in their children's education since we have a "open door" policy. Together, the faculty, governors, and parents make up a powerful team that works relentlessly to uphold the academic standards and successes at the school and support our kids as they grow up. It is challenging to convey the warm and welcoming spirit of our school in words, therefore I strongly urge you to visit, get to know the teachers and students, and see it for yourself. You should read our Aims and Philosophies to discover more about our approach to teaching and the factors we think are crucial for children to succeed.
