Welcome to SELEfirst School
a first class quality education
As we approach the half-way point in this academic year we can all see how the children are growing in confidence, skill and expertise. Our Take One Picture exhibition in the main hall provides a record of the whole school project during the autumn term. This included visits to galleries, exhibitions and places of interest. Animotos on this site show KS2 children working with Carl Von Weiler as part of our artist in residence programme. The great adventure that is SET at SELEfirst allows all to see the enjoyment and enthusiasm the children are capable of when inspired by teaching that challenges and motivates. Interviews with children and parents are included on our piece SET 2012. I must thank all parents and family members who make this project come to life by sharing their interests and expertise with the children.
Our committed and enthusiastic Fair Trade Group continue to work in school and within the community to embed the message of supporting fair trade world-wide. We are looking forward to the summer to spend even more time in our outdoor classroom. Our hens have a waiting list of orders to fulfil and children from gardening and eco club will work hard to continue to improve our school grounds. Whilst whole school recycling and good use of resources is an important target for children, staff and parents to work together on we are quickly running out of space to recycle all the things we collect.
Governors and staff continue to support our aim to provide a first class education for children. I hope that our school website enables you to find information on our school and to catch up or comment on life at SELEfirst.
