Appendices Bullying Policy Glossary 5-14 Attainment Figures Child Protection Circular WELCOME TO BATTLEFIELD PRIMARY December 2008 Dear Parent, May I take this opportunity of welcoming you and your children to Battlefield Primary School. I hope your association with this school will be a long and happy one. At Battlefield Primary we aim to provide a friendly, safe place where each child can grow in confidence and understanding, developing skills for life through a stimulating, learning environment. We foster academic, artistic, dramatic and musical development, sporting ability and loyalty to both the school and our community. We want you to work in partnership with the staff and help us to provide a happy learning environment. We want you to encourage your child to work hard and behave well. If at anytime you are concerned about your child please come and tell us. We hope you will see the school as an integral part of the community and that you will become involved in activities and events within the school. We want you to take an interest in what your child is doing at school. As teachers we aim to offer the highest standard of teaching and learning by providing planned learning experiences matched to the needs of pupils. We hope to encourage all pupils to do their best in everything they do. Since this handbook may not answer all your questions about the school please feel free at any time to contact the school for an appointment to discuss matters with myself or any other member of staff. Yours sincerely, Claire Curry HEAD TEACHER SCHOOL INFORMATION Name of school BATTLEFIELD PRIMARY SCHOOL Address 44 CARMICHAEL PLACE GLASGOW, G42 9SY Telephone 0141 632 2162 Fax 0141 649 7005 E Mail headteacher@battlefield-pri.glasgow.sch.uk Website: www.battlefield-pri.glasgow.sch.uk New Learning Community SHAWLANDS ACADEMY Capacity of school 437 children Present Roll 272 children Primary 1 47 Primary 2 37 Primary 3 46 Primary 4 41 Primary 5 40 Primary 6 30 Primary 7 31 Parents should note that the working capacity of the school may vary, dependent upon the number of pupils at each stage, and the way in which the classes are organised.
