Welcome to Toft Hill
Primary School
A message from our Headteacher
It is my absolute pleasure and privilege to be the Headteacher of this warm welcoming primary school! We are very much a part of the village of Toft Hill and we value and are proud to be a part of our local community. We currently have 199 pupils, which officially means we are smaller than average, but we believe we are the perfect size.
The members of our ‘Toft Hill’ school community are caring and supportive of each other; we believe in each other and encourage others to have self-belief too. Together we aspire to be the best version of ourselves that we can. There is a great friendly, community feel in our school where effective learning is embedded. We strive for high engagement and inclusive learning and activities for all.
School Admissions
Toft Hill Primary School has a pupil admission number of 26 pupils per class, from Reception to Year 6. However in some circumstances the school can admit above this limit.
Curriculum
Our curriculum is based primarily upon the requirements of the National Curriculum but careful consideration has been given to the particular needs of our pupils and the community in which we are situated.
Childcare Provision
Primary Schools are now required to publish alongside their Performance information a list of their childcare provision making it easier for parents to know what is available.
School Performance
Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. Ofsted regulate and inspect schools and colleges to seek improvement in the service.
School Attendance
Attending school is very important. Your child must attend school every day. Children who are regularly absent from school miss out on opportunities which can affect their life-long chances.
Pupil & Sport Premium Allocations
The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and in 2012–13 individual schools were allocated funding for children from low-income families who were eligible for free school meals…
Community
In this section of our website we would like to share our images of events and visits with you. We have also added information about our close links with our local community…
School Holidays
Head teachers are no longer able to grant leave of absence during term time unless there are exceptional circumstances. (A working definition of exceptional here is ‘rare’.)
School Council
Toft Hill Primary School Council consists of two children from each year group from Year 1 to Year 6. The children are elected by their peers as the people who they feel will best represent their class.
