Catherine Wayte Primary School > Headteacher's Letter

                                                        Head Teacher's Welcome

Dear Parents,

I am pleased to introduce myself as the head teacher of Catherine Wayte Primary School, having taken up the position in January 2007.

I should like to extend a very warm welcome to you and your children and hope that your association with our school will be a productive and happy one. We welcome visits at any mutually convenient time.

While setting high standards for your children in academic and social aspects of education, we strive to create an environment where every individual can experience success and enjoyment. We strive to provide a broad and balanced curriculum and value learning which is in context, relevant, meaningful and interesting. We encourage each child to recognise positive personal qualities (we call these 'gems') and to achieve his or her potential.

We value the relationship between home and school; this supports your child’s social, personal and academic progress. We welcome parental support and encourage parents to help with classroom activities and PTA events. Good communication is essential and we welcome your feedback and questions.

This website will be regularly updated during the year. It includes a calendar of events, the School Prospectus, monthly newsletters and information about aspects of our work such as visits, Healthy Schools, Eco Schools and Breakfast Club.

I hope you will enjoy visiting the website for information and news.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Laura Brierley

Head Teacher
