From the Fairway Infant School, Copthorne
To get the most out of their education, we think kids need to be happy at school. Due to the fact that they spend the most of the day in the same classroom, the function of the class teacher in providing for them is highly valued. Each member of the staff is sensitive to the needs of the kids and works to foster a welcoming and secure environment that promotes learning. The design of the learning environment maximises the utilisation of both indoor and outdoor spaces. Helping children in the classroom, in groups, at lunchtime, and when they are ill is a special responsibility of teaching assistants. When calling parents in an emergency, there are set protocols in place. Six employees are trained in first aid.
