PASSION

OPPORTUNITY

UNIQUE

DETERMINED

I have a thirst for knowledge

I approach activities with enthusiasm.

I love a challenge and enjoy solving problems.

I know my skills and aim to build on them to be the best I can be.

I pursue my interests beyond the lesson and beyond the school.

I share my passions and help to inspire others.

I follow the rules and use good manners.

I treat everyone as I would like to be treated – showing kindness & consideration.

I listen carefully to others – without interrupting.

I think carefully about what I say and how I say it.

I know that hurting someone is never OK.

I look after my own and other people’s belongings.

I value and take care of equipment and resources – tidying away when asked.

I aim to be in school every day and on time, with all of the equipment I need.

 

I welcome new experiences & approach activities with curiosity.

 

I always have a go.

 

I attend clubs, enter competitions and fully participate in the life of our school.

 

I appreciate the opportunities on offer -even if they are not for me!

 

I remember that just because I can doesn’t mean I should!

I have my own opinion and share my views.

 

I am my own person and value my skills and talents.

 

I recognise that other people have interests and hobbies that I don’t share and that’s OK!

 

I appreciate everyone’s uniqueness – wouldn’t it be boring if everyone was the same?

 

I can be part of a team and still be me – because I know that if I work well with others I can achieve more.

I show commitment and keep going.

 

If I have a problem I look for a solution.

 

When things are hard I try my best and appreciate that to be successful I must practise.

 

I know that the more effort I put in, the greater the result will be.

 

I know that success takes time – if something goes wrong once that doesn’t mean it always will.

Attendance Matters

We provide a wealth of opportunities for our pupils and know that ‘every lesson counts’ if children are to make progress. 

 

Our School Council keep a keen eye on our weekly attendance, because every time we hit 97% they claim £10 to spend on playground equipment for the school!

 

An Attendance Trophy is awarded each week and children receive certificates for 97+% and 100% attendance.

 

Our Attendance Data shows that we are consistently above the national average –but we would like to do even better!


School Uniform

At Forefield Junior School, we believe that wearing a school uniform helps our pupils feel a sense of identity and belonging, as well as encouraging a co-operative spirit within our school. It also reduces the need to keep up with changing fashions.

School Uniform

  • Royal blue V-neck school pullover (with or without school logo)
  • Grey tailored trousers, shorts, pinafore or skirt
  • White shirt and school tie
  • Grey socks
  • Black school shoes (not trainers or boots)

Summer options:

  • White polo shirt (with or without school logo)
  • Blue gingham dress

Games Kit

In order to eliminate time spent changing and maximise time spent in physical activity, children should wear their games kit to school on the days they have games/indoor PE.

  • Navy or black shorts
  • Plain white t-shirt or polo shirt
  • short socks
  • trainers

A navy jogging suit may be worn over games kit on cold days.

For indoor PE, children usually have bare feet, but may wear pumps if they wish.

No jewellery should be worn in school, with the exception of watches and plain stud earrings, which must be removed during Games, PE and Swimming lessons.

Children should not wear nail polish or make-up.
