Summerfields Primary School

Summerfields Primary School is maintained by the Isle of Wight Council, providing enducation for girls and boys between the ages of 4+ and 9+. The school is housed in a bright and airy building, opened in 1974, containing class bases with shared practical areas, cloakrooms and toilets. We have a large, light hall, well equipped for PE, and a library and resources area. We also have a Foundation unit housing Reception and Squirrels Pre-School.

We also have a large playing field planted with various trees which provide shade from the summer sun (above).

The school has a clear idea of its vision and values and this is set out in the School Prospectus.

We have good relationships with the parents, demonstrated in the work of the Friends of Summerfields School who organise a full programme of social and fund-raising events. We also encourage effective links with the community through our links with the local churches, community use of our premises, etc..

SUMMERFIELDS AND HEALTHY SCHOOLS

The Healthy Schools Partnership combines the school improvements and standards agenda with health improvement.

Involvement in the partnership promotes health in its widest sense, which includes the emotional and physical well-being of all pupils and staff of the school, as well as the community of which the school forms a part. A healthy start during the years at school will provide an excellent foundation for good health and well-being throughout an individual's life.

The Healthy Schools Partnership promotes practical aspects and projects which are suitable for the entire age range. The involvement of the entire staff, governors, young people and wider community is essential.

The key areas of focus are:
Personal, Social and Health Education; Citizenship; Drugs, including alcohol and tobacco; Emotional Health and Well-Being; Enviornment; Healthy Eating; Physical Activity; Safety Education; Sex and Relationship Education.
