St. Crispin's Community Infant School is situated in Westgate-on-Sea, just outside Margate, Kent. The age range of the pupils is from four years to seven years and it is a mixed school.
We have three year groups - Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 with three classes in each group. With each class having a maximum of 30 children, we have an overall maximum of 270 pupils. At present we are slightly below that maximum but numbers are rising all the time.
The school has been here now for just over 45 years, in fact St. Crispin’s celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2003. A display of photographs lent by the parents and other people showed just how much the school has changed in that time. Different projects we have undertaken lately show that the school will continue to change in the future.
A Mission Statement For St. Crispin’s Infant School
“ The Road to Success is Always Under Construction ”
“ The Road to Success is Always Under Construction ”
We at St Crispin’s have a vision of a working environment, suitable and worthy of the pupils and staff of the school. We will aim to keep up to date with any new technologies as they emerge and provide the early skills that our pupils will need to be successful in their futures.
We envisage
|
|
An environment where all adults and children are valued and represented
|
|
|
A place where all adults are working towards excellence in their areas of responsibility
|
|
|
A place where all pupils understand the expectation of excellence in behaviour and
|
effort in their work
The changes necessary for coping with the 21st Century will not detract from the caring, happy ethos, which is an accepted and integral part of St Crispin’s Infant School.
