Short profile:
Yeoford Primary School was opened in 1878. It is still housed in the original, attractive building, which has been considerably modified in recent years, including interactive whiteboards in both
classrooms. We enjoy a good range of resources, including our own football pitch, children's
kitchen and Community Room. The children also have their own allotments and achieve great
success and enjoyment growing vegetables and then cooking them.
The organisation of the school varies with the number of pupils, and the distribution of ages
throughout the school. At present we have two classes. Both classes contain children from more
than one year group, and teachers are very aware of the special requirements of mixed-age
classes. Lessons are carefully planned to ensure that work is not repeated by pupils who stay in a
class for more than one year, and all children are given tasks of an appropriate level.
Detailed description:
During
lessons, you will see children working in a variety of ways. They may be taught as a whole class, or in groups, or be working as individuals as appropriate.Our skilled Classroom Assistants support classroom teaching, and help children with special
educational needs.
Our Community Room is used for assemblies, as a meeting place for the 4+ Playgroup, and as a
base for Yeo Yos, our popular After School Club. Piano lessons are taken by a visiting teacher.
