About the School
John Bramston Primary School is situated in the north of the
Borough. In January 2005 there were 311 full time children
and 35 part time children in Nursery. Children are admitted
to our Nursery from the age of 3 years.
"The school takes every opportunity to build pupils' self esteem
and to help them understand their community responsibilities ...
their spiritual, moral and cultural development is good and their
social development is very good." (Not our words, but the words of
our recent Ofsted inspection report).
At John Bramston Primary School we believe strongly in social
inclusion and our school is adapted for wheelchair use.
The school has a large playground and playing field. We
have a sporting tradition going back many years and while
competitive success may vary from year to year, the enthusiasm
remains constant. Extra curricular activities cover a wide
range of interests and we encourage children to accept
responsibility, show initiative and become independent
learners.
Homework is seen not just as a means for children to reinforce
lessons learnt in school, but also as an opportunity for children
to explore their own interests and devise their own projects.
We believe that parental involvement in homework is an ideal way
for parents to learn about their own child's progress throughout
the year.
