Welcome

Dear Visitor

Welcome to our school website. I hope you will find it both useful and informative and that you enjoy browsing through these pages to find out more about our lovely school and the exciting activities that happen here.

We think it’s vital to build a secure and happy environment where every child feels highly valued and is motivated to achieve their full potential. Working in partnership with parents and the local community enables us to provide a well supported and varied curriculum for all of our children.

The Curriculum

At Langton Green, the pupils and teachers follow the National Curriculum for English, Mathematics, Science, Information Communication Technology, History, Geography, Art, Music, Design Technology and Physical Education.

The school curriculum also includes Religious Education and Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education. Pupils in Reception class follow the Foundation Stage Curriculum.

The work in each class is planned around a series of termly and half termly topics, these topics being organised so that as many areas of the curriculum as possible are included as research has shown that children learn best when subjects are interlinked rather than being taught discreetly.

Pupils are encouraged to work independently, collaboratively in groups or as a whole class according to the tasks in which they are involved.

Children’s progress through the National Curriculum levels is assessed throughout the year and we also use standardised tests to monitor progress in Key Stage 2. The pupils in Years 2 and 6 take part in the national Standard Assessment Tests. The Foundation Stage Profile is completed at the end of the Reception year.

Clubs / Extra-Curricular Activities

We offer a wide range of clubs and activities, both at lunchtime and after school. All are popular and well supported.

Football
Football Club is for boys and girls in Years 5 and 6. It runs after school on Wednesdays until 4.15 p.m. Regular matches are played against local schools and there are plenty of opportunities to play in either an A or B team for these. Each year we take part in a cup competition with other local schools.
For further details see Mr Gillinder.

Netball
Netball Club is offered on Mondays after school until 4.15 p.m. in the Autumn and Spring terms for Years 4, 5 and 6. All are welcome. We play regular matches against local schools and take part in an inter-schools tournament.
Mrs Cook, Mrs Murray and Mrs Parody run this club.

Choir
All children in Years 4, 5 and 6 are warmly invited to attend choir practices. These take place on Monday lunch times. The choir has recently performed at the Assembly Hall and regularly support school productions. They have enjoyed singing carols at the Pantiles, one version of which was broadcast on Radio Kent . Mrs Smith welcomes new recruits.

School Orchestra
meets on Tuesday lunchtime in the Autumn and Summer terms, when we prepare for the Christmas production and Summer concert. Any child welcome, usually from Y3 upwards. At the Christmas carol service 2009, over 75 children played in one band or another!

Steel Pans Bands
We now run four bands on a Friday afternoon – the latest addition being a ‘Leaver’s Band’ for those Y7 and Y8 children who still want to play! Bands are run by the marvellous Mr Mike Hayes and a small fee is payable for the tuition.

Singing Group
Singing group is for our younger singers – Years 2 and 3, and is run by Mrs Lees on Wednesday lunchtimes. We sing a variety of well-known fun songs as well as songs from musicals and some lesser known, more challenging, songs and rounds. Year 1 children will be invited to attend towards the end of the spring term.
See Mrs Lees if you wish to join.

Rounders Club
This is a late Summer term club for Years 4, 5 and 6. A good way to while away an hour after school on a warm summer evening.
