Dear Colleague,
I welcome you as a prospective applicant for the post of Deputy Headteacher at NewingtonCommunityPrimary School, Ramsgate. The school is a two form entry school, with an attached nursery with 52 places, sited on the Newington Estate in Ramsgate. The amalgamation of the two former schools has brought substantial benefits for the children of the Newington area, with the continuity provided by an all through primary school with a Nursery
This is an incredibly exciting time as our school has now had two successful OFSTED inspections and we face the prospect of an expansion to become a three form entry primary school. The school has undergone a significant overhaul so that we are now able to offer ‘state of the art’ facilities throughout the school. In addition to this, a Children’s Centre is now open on site and provides support for parents with children under the age of 5. This will mean the site of the new school will provide facilities and the support of professional services for children and their families from birth to eleven.
Our school is extremely well equipped in every way; we have extensive grounds, an IT infrastructure that is the envy of others, and a highly committed and well motivated staff who work tirelessly to ensure that our children achieve their potential. The children are encouraged, throughout their time with us, to develop a sense of responsibility for their learning and behaviour; we expect the highest standards from the children in all aspects of their school life.
The school is concerned, first and foremost, with children as individuals where every individual is seen as special and important.
OFSTED in June 2012 found that we are a caring and successful school, providing a friendly and secure environment. They also found that teaching and learning is good and that the behaviour of the children is excellent; our aim is to be judged as Outstanding next time around,however, don’t just take their word for it, come and have a look for yourself!
My staff and I are committed to providing a secure place in which the children of our community can grow and develop and I hope that the website gives you an insight into what lies ahead at Newington, but more importantly, a visit to see the school in action will give you a flavour of what we are trying to achieve. We are a Community school and I hope you will feel encouraged to feel part of our school and to apply for a post that will help us to create the strongest of partnerships with all stakeholders and achieve great things for our children.
Yours sincerely
Cliff Stokes
Headteacher
