Family of Small Schools
Waldringfield Primary School works closely with four other local schools, Bealings, Bucklesham, Nacton and Martlesham Primary Academy.
Together we are a family of small schools (FOSS).
We share together in joint development, special activities and focus days and opportunities for the children to get together, particularly in Year 6 before the move to high school.
We collaborate in a variety of ways:
- Our children share learning opportunities with joint projects and sporting competitions
- Joint teaching observations occur between schools to improve classroom practice
- Our teachers regularly moderate and check the standard of children’s work in writing and maths across the schools to ensure standards are equally high and improving
- Senior Leaders carry out reviews (mini-inspections) of the other schools to develop rigorous improvement strategies and support future development
