From the Old Catton CofE VC Junior School
At Old Catton Church of England Junior School we believe that children learn best in a happy, and challenging and safe environment, so we encourage participation in a wide range of physical and creative learning opportunities within a broad balanced curriculum. We acknowledge that everyone of our children has different requirements, and we work to support and nurture them all in a Christian environment so that they will be prepared to face the difficulties of the future. For both adults and children, learning is a continuous and evolving process, in our opinion. Learning should be worthwhile, attainable, and pleasant. We vigorously advocate for the advantages of a healthy lifestyle for everyone. We think that a child's education should be a collaborative effort between the home, the school, and the community.
