  • School Prospectus
    “Mighty oaks from tiny acorns grow” PRESTON PRIMARY PROSPECTUS 2020-2021 PRESTON PRIMARY 2020-2021 Dear Parent, Welcome to our school. If your child is about to join us and you are experiencing our school for the first time, we welcome you warmly as parents and look forward to a happy and successful partnership over the coming years. If you already have a child at our school, we are pleased to renew the link. We hope you find the information in this brochure both helpful and informative. However, no document or brochure can fully describe every aspect of our school, so if there is anything you are unsure about please don’t hesitate to ask either myself or one of the staff, and we will do our best to help you. Preston Primary School is a relatively small school. As teachers, we view this as one of the great strengths of our school because we know every child and are able to cater for their needs, both in and out of the classroom. We endeavour to make time to listen and offer advice and help to both children and parents alike. We view the happiness and security of a child as of paramount importance to their long term intellectual and social development. We encourage a happy, relaxed yet purposeful atmosphere within school, based on mutual respect, care and thought for each individual within our “school family”. Confidence in a good school comes from knowing and understanding what is happening within it. We hope that by regular contact with school through educational and social functions, parent/teacher consultation meetings, regular newsletters, open days and by visiting, that you will soon come to know all the members of the school team.

The SOP gives information about the number, types and sizes of schools maintained by the Council, Academies and Free Schools. The Council does however have a statutory duty to ensure that there are enough school places in the borough to meet demand. The Council must therefore plan, organise and commission places for all state-funded schools in Stockton so that high standards are maintained, diverse school communities created and fluctuating pupil numbers are managed efficiently. The demand for school places changes over time - this document is considered to be ‘live’ and, as such, is updated every two years.

Year 7 students, their teachers and parents travelled to Cambridge to take part. Emma, Faye, Freya and Nathan competed against 100 other year 7 students.

They all gave an excellent account of themselves in a very competitive situation and two of our contestants were only a few words away from placing in the top four. Our pupils were all winners as they were among the top 100 pupils out of 28,684 who took part in the competition nationally. Well done to Emma, Faye, Freya and Nathan for being such great representatives of Egglescliffe School.

    Altrincham Grammar School for Boys A Grammar School with Academy Status Head Master: Mr G. A. Wright MA (Hons) FRSA Marlborough Road, Bowdon, Altrincham, WA14 2RS 6th December 2019 Dear Parents/Carers As the Christmas decorations are set up across School, there is still much to report as we head towards the final ten School days of 2019. We are coming to the end of the Year 13 mock examinations and I would like take this opportunity to wish the best of luck to those students who are taking part in interviews next week for both Oxbridge and Medicine. Congratulations to all involved in what was a stunning two evenings of music at the 2019 Autumn Concerts. AGSB musicians played to a packed-out audience in the Coleman Hall as they produced a wonderful and eclectic spectacle of music. The fantastic range of opportunities for extra-curricular Music were showcased throughout. There were many highlights including the Swing Band, the Staff Choir, a scene from the forthcoming production of Back to the 80’s and of course, the Year 7 Choir. Many thanks both to the Music Department and the School’s musicians. With less than a week before the General Election, I am pleased to report that the AGSB mock election did not disappoint. In assemblies, the candidates representing the five main parties had the chance to launch their manifesto with a 2-minute pitch. We then held a Question Time event in the School library. In a good-humoured, but hard-hitting, debate, topics ranged from Brexit to education, taxation, knife crime and climate change.
