In September 2019, Furze Platt Infant School and Furze Platt Junior School joined to form Furze Platt Primary Federation. Whilst keeping each school's own identity and name, the Federation allowed these two strong schools, to work even closer together.
Our SuperPoWeR values
Our staff, governors and children helped choose the three values that all of us wanted to focus on and be part of.
Firstly, we felt that all of our community needed to experience a love for learning or an interest in their lives; helping everyone experience the joy of being immersed in something they like whilst also exploring new and exciting activities and opportunities. Our value of PASSION was decided upon to ensure that we reflect on what we love to do, what ignites that flame and how we can be open to exploring new things.
We all know the importance of understanding our own WELLBEING, how to support ourselves, how to support others and how to recognise signs of wellbeing being negatively affected. The Top Ten most in demand skills for future employment frequently includes, high up on the list, Emotional Intelligence yet this is not directly taught in school curriculums. At FPPF it is because we recognise that children, and adults, only learn effectively if their wellbeing is prioritised and they feel happy and safe. At the end of the day, being emotionally literate with strong wellbeing and resilience will be vital at every new stage of a child’s educational journey and beyond.
Whilst our final value is a value that is part of many schools around the country, there is a very valid reason for that. RESPECT is taught but is also part of an establishments or communities’ ethos and beliefs. At FPPF we respect ourselves, each other, our school, our community and our wider world. We learn how to do this and we celebrate our members of our community that show respect.
The key aims of our Federation are:
Our structure:
FPPF has one Leadership team and one Governing Body that both operate over both schools. This strategic oversight by both bodies further increases the continuity and ability to support the children through all seven years of their time at FPPF.
Our Federation Leadership team includes our Executive Headteacher (Mike Wallace), our two Heads of School (Jane Indge at Furze Platt Infant School and Anna Clark at Furze Platt Junior School) and our Inclusion Manager (Rachel Endacott). Together, the Federation Leadership Team ensure the strategic direction of the federation.
What it means for our children and families
Being part of FPPF is akin to being part of a large, three form primary school but with each of our schools still keeping their own identity. Best of both worlds and a rarity in the education system.
