Home Farm Primary School WEB READY 2

Welcome to our school's website

A very warm welcome to Home Farm Primary and our school website.

Home Farm Primary School is a two form entry primary school with a nursery. We pride ourselves on our caring and friendly atmosphere. Our school is a happy place, where children learn in a supportive atmosphere and all members of the community respect one another. We have high expectations for learning and behaviour. We encourage our children to aim high.

We are a central part of the community we serve. We love our diverse nature and enjoy celebrating the differences and the many things we share in common with everyone in our community.

We welcome visits to the school from prospective parents, applicants for jobs and others who have a professional interest in the work we do - we are always proud of what we have to show when people come to visit. Our visitors are always impressed with what they see.

If you need any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Mrs Joanne Poole
Headteacher

    JusTalk Kids
    JusTalk Kids is an alternative version of the JusTalk app, aimed at an audience aged 13 and under. As that upper age limit suggests, this social networking platform is intended to be suitable for youngsters, providing them with a space of their own to interact with a community their own age. Unfortunately, there are still risks associated with JusTalk Kids, so it’s vitally important for parents and educators to understand the potential dangers for those who use the app. The attached guide delves into the most prominent online safety concerns of JusTalk Kids, while also letting you know how to ensure that children can be protected, should they wish to create an account.

    Online Safety Update - managing Screen Time
    From using them for communication, work, shopping and entertainment, devices such as smartphones, laptops and the rest are now deeply ingrained into modern society. Small wonder, then, that young people – who’ve grown up surrounded by such gadgets – can sometimes struggle to put them down, switch them off or keep themselves occupied without them. While limiting our screen time may require a great deal of restraint, the effort can be rewarded with significant benefits to our physical and mental health. The guide attached has simple tips for helping to manage the amount of screen time in your household – encouraging the whole family to spend more quality time together and live in the moment. As always thank you for supporting in keeping our children safe online

    Monday extended start - 8.45 - 9.45
    Good afternoon everyone As we are all still waiting for the big thaw, please note the details below for tomorrow morning opening: School will open as normal at 8.45. We will continue to use the winter weather doors as the back of school is still not clear. Please do not use the Y6 path. To ease congestion on Cooper Lane and allow for more travelling time, registers will remain open until 9.45. If you arrive at school after 8.55 please use the main office entrance. Breakfast and after school clubs are running as normal. Please take care and enjoy the rest of your Sunday Mrs Poole

    School Closure - today
    Good morning After an assessment of the site early this morning, I have taken the decision to close our school today. This is not the start to 2025 we were hoping for, but the safety for our pupils, staff and families must come first. Teachers will be in touch this morning with remote activities. Take care everyone Mrs Poole
