About St Nicholas
School
|
| Classes and teachers |
| Classes |
| Children are generally taught in mixed ability
classes throughout the school. They progress
through the classes according to age, except
very occasionally where the individual needs
of the child make an alternative programme
appropriate. Our policy is to treat each child
as far as possible as an individual. In practice
this means that there will be a balance between
class, group and individually designed tasks |
| |
| Teachers |
| Full-time staff are first and foremost Class
Teachers. Many have special qualifications
and interests in particular subjects and,
as well as teaching these subjects, are able
to advise and assist other colleagues when
the need arises. The Headteacher has overall
responsibility for the running of the school
including the work and welfare of all pupils.
The Senior Management Team (Headteacher, Deputy
Head, Phase Leaders, Staff Development Co-ordinator,
Special Needs Co-ordinator and Bursar) work
together on curricular, pastoral and management
issues. Class Teachers have the closest knowledge
of individual children and should be consulted
first if there are any concerns. The Headteacher
and Deputy Head are also pleased to see parents
who request an appointment. |
