“You have all had an amazingly positive influence on every child that has attended this school. Without you we would never have gotten so far. You make our hearts grow with happiness and we will miss you dearly.” Year 6 Leaver

“I want my school to be a better place where I can learn to be a better learner…where I am encouraged to ask questions and find out answers…where I keep on discovering and learning amazing things…a place where I feel happy and have fun as I learn…and where there’s always someone on hand to help me sort problems out.”

The children’s vision, created by the School Council

“Good provision across the Early Years Foundation Stage ensures the children feel safe, settle quickly and develop their self-confidence. They form good relationships with the adults and behave well as they enjoy their work and play together.

Outdoor provision is exemplary and is used very well to provide all children with good opportunities to experience and explore within a safe and supported environment.”

“The staff team are committed to ensuring every child thrives at Normand Croft.” Teacher

“This is the first year my son has attended Normand Croft and I’m very happy I have chosen this school. The teachers are amazing, full of experience, kind, helpful, friendly and I’ve been advised by his teachers that I can receive any kind of help that I need. The school is very clean and the children follow the rules which will help my child to develop better.  I would highly recommend this school to my family and friends because I feel safe to send my son to this school.

Thank you for all the help and support provided to my family.”

“I have been impressed at how well F has settled into the nursery at Normand Croft School.  The nursery teacher and the teaching assistants are very warm and approachable and this has really helped with the transition.  

I have loved receiving things F has made in his class and it seems the activities the children do are creative and engaging. I am always informed of important and dates by letter and feel the communication is good. The nursery feels like a nurturing and happy place where I feel happy to leave my son.   I am excited to see him grow and develop at Normand Croft.”

“As a parent we are really happy to have O in Willow class. This is really a privileged experience for the children as there are only 12 children for 3 adults, which we consider a very high level of management. We do also appreciate the many activities proposed to the children: cooking, painting, creations, gardening.  We see that the staff management is really active.

The change of classroom made them discover new areas. Which is good and makes them feel ‘bigger’. The organisation of the classroom is really nice and we see that the children have a lot of educational materials. To have a book per week is an amazing ideal. O loves this ritual.

It was really amazing to have a home visit at the beginning of the year.  The further visit was helpful to understand O’s behaviour at school for us as parents to be helped with educational advice.  We consider that this meeting is really important in order to have feedback on our child and also to help the school team by sharing this experience with our child. We would like to congratulate the team for their amazing job with the class.  We really appreciate it.”

“I was very anxious to leave my 2 year old because he was very young.  I have been totally surprised pleasantly that this is a lovely space for my son with lovely and friendly staff that cater for my child’s every need.

I’m glad I have this space for my son to grow and explore with staff that care.”
