Primary pupils
Hello and Welcome from the Hospital School’s Primary Team.
Primary School Staff Team
- Mrs Morshead (Primary Lead Teacher)
- Mrs Clews (Primary Class Teacher)
- Mrs Dumbleton (Teaching Assistant)
Here is a little information about how our school works
Our school day is flexible. Below is an indication of an average school day offer:
Morning
- Starter activity
- Maths
- English
Afternoon
- Reading
- Science/Art/Humanities/RE/PSHCE /Topic
Reception pupils will receive work in line with the EYFS Curriculum. Pupils not well enough for academic work will be offered wellbeing activities whilst on the ward.
The vast majority of teaching and learning is provided at bedsides, although we do have a small classroom, which is located opposite the nurses’ station on ward 16.
A folder will be provided to keep schoolwork in. We suggest that you photograph any practical tasks completed, or we can record them on an extra sheet. Photographs and the contents of the folder provide evidence that work has been completed in the hospital school. Please take the folder with you at the end of your stay and give it to your child’s school.
Parents, please be aware that we do not routinely contact schools. Please follow the usual absence procedures of your child’s school. If you let them know that your child has been working in our hospital school, they will receive an ‘educated off site’ mark instead of an ‘absent’ mark.
At the end of your stay, we would be very grateful if you would fill in these brief feedback forms. We really appreciate knowing how you have found our service and are always seeking ways to improve.
We hope that you will enjoy working with us and we look forward to supporting you during your stay.
