Welcome from the Headteacher
It gives me great pleasure on behalf of the staff, pupils and governors to welcome you to our wonderful school.
We are a warm and welcoming one-form entry primary school, located on the picturesque Shoreham Beach.
Everyone feels safe, included and valued. Kindness, restorative practice and strong relationships underpin everything we do.
At Shoreham Beach Primary, there is a passion and love for learning. Everyone is committed to high expectations and aspirations. Our curriculum is bespoke and ambitious for all. We want every learner to be a critical thinker and greater depth at something. Everybody succeeds, everybody matters. No one gets left behind.
Having high expectations isn't a skill, it is an attitude.
We are very proud of our school.
Key priorities for this academic year
Further develop teacher’s knowledge of mathematics and mathematical development in order to ensure basic skills (number bonds, place value, times tables and number formation) and key concepts are secured at each stage before moving on. To ensure conceptual understanding in different contexts.
To develop children’s spelling abilities through consistent teaching of spelling rules and age-appropriate words in order to have a direct impact on the quality of writing across the curriculum. To ensure high expectations for children’s composition through planning, drafting, writing and editing, while establishing a positive writing culture.
Ensure progress of vulnerable and disadvantaged pupils by adapting teaching within lessons through careful questioning and assessment for learning opportunities. Making effective use of Learning Pod for identified provision and support.
