About our school
    Lawns Park is a friendly, happy school with a purposeful atmosphere. We are all here to learn and we are eager to challenge ourselves and persevere, even when the learning journey feels difficult. At Lawns Park the children have a voice and they are listened to. Children own their learning with great pride.

    We are committed to ensuring learning is enjoyable, purposeful and stimulating for all our children and we know that our class pages will help us to deliver this. We also know that our parents and carers want to be able to access information and communicate with school easily. Again, this site is designed to make sure this can happen.

    We are so excited about the learning possibilities our website offers our pupils, parents, carers, staff and governors. As always, we value your thoughts and comments as we develop and grow our site.

Rebecca Ford, Head Teacher.

A message from our Head Teacher,  Ms Ford:

Lawns Parkers go on to achieve great things.

     
     

Once again I find myself in awe of what our children can achieve. All our children were very interested to hear about a former pupil of ours, Rhiannon, who came to tell us about how she had won the Young Carers Award 2017. She received her award from Prince Harry for strength of character and her practical, level headed, caring approach when members of her family were seriously ill .

She met many celebrities and she shared this with us in a very professional presentation which she had planned herself. We were all very proud of her. As her former headteacher I felt particularly proud to call her a Lawns Parker, even now!

Have you ever been inspired by someone?

I have been inspired by a fabulous learner in Year 6. Caitlin told me that she, in turn, has been inspired by some children that she learnt about in assembly who had decided that they wanted to help other people who did not have the opportunities they had and so they raised money through their own efforts.

Caitlin went home after that assembly and spoke to her mum about her desire to raise money for a charity, “Make A Wish”. Caitlin told me that this charity is for people who have a life-shortening illness. The charity pays for the wishes these people make. She knows someone who got to ride in a limousine, as this was something that he had always wanted to do!

Caitlin is a very proactive girl and she has been very busy making bags and cushions from pieces of fabric which she is selling to raise money. She is also being sponsored for walking up Mount Snowden, which she intends to do with her mum and aunties on Saturday 6th May.

If you feel inspired by Caitlin’s good heart and determination to do something to make a difference, then come to her stall in the conservatory after school on Friday 28th April and 5th May and buy a bag or a cushion or sponsor Caitlin’s walk.

Our Lawns Park children are amazing and I am full of admiration for Caitlin!

Are you on the Lawns Park Bus?

Did you even know there was a bus? Well here it is. Mr Stone made it for me and it has pride of place in my office. Why? Because it reminds me that all the staff, children, parents, governors and volunteers are on an amazing journey. We are all heading in the same direction, which is to be dedicated, resilient learners.

This doesn’t happen by magic, everyone on the bus has to want to be on the bus and everyone has their own special seat. Just recently, I have noticed that there are some energetic, enthusiastic people on the Lawns Park Bus who are spreading the word and encouraging people to join. These people are our caring parents and carers and our enthusiastic Parent Ambassadors and our loyal, committed volunteers. You will notice these people around school, outside in the playground, at Parents Evenings and at events, making things happen with the same destination in mind... amazing learning for all children at Lawns Park.

Having these people on board means that we now have open forums for parents to share their views and contribute even more to their children’s learning. We have a parent-friendly School Improvement Plan, so that all parents can see our direction. We have a Lawns Park Facebook Group FOR Lawns Park parents BY Lawns Park parents, so they can share tips, ideas, solve problems together. Our governors and Parent Ambassadors are even working on a special interactive Parent Ambassador website to spread the Lawns Park word even further.

We have committed volunteers who always turn up to read with our children or help with the learning in class, these friendly faces and extra pairs of hands are just what our children need. They are always in our library making sure that our children can borrow a book whenever they want and always ready to organise and take part in exciting events, like KS2 Movie Night (6pm 23.3.17) or Hunt the Egg (after school  28.3.17).

If you are heading in the same direction as us, hop aboard.  There's always room on the Lawns Park Bus!

 At Lawns Park, we aim to actively promote values in our school to ensure our pupils leave us prepared for life as responsible, dutiful, law-abiding citizens in modern Britain. For example, we have an active, democratic school council, we learn about great British artists and composers and the contribution of Britain around the globe.

Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.
