From the Field Junior School
At Field Junior, we want to make sure that the school provides a secure, enjoyable setting where kids may take part in and succeed in a variety of educational opportunities that are guided by an enthusiastic and well-supported team.
The Field Junior crew is a dedicated and enthusiastic group of people who are eager to provide our kids a variety of extracurricular and curricular activities to enhance their learning.
We are ecstatic about continuing to succeed academically.
The level of achievement at the conclusion of Year 6 is a reflection of the effort put forward by all students.
As we continue to work toward the best outcomes for all of our students, results have climbed to consistently high levels over the past four years (see Statutory Information section for details).
We are currently trying to integrate the new National Curriculum, which presents all of our kids with the challenge of new Age Related Standards.
The fact that we outperformed the County and National norms on the SATs this year shows that we are still holding everyone to a high standard.
We think that every student in our school should have access to a comprehensive and varied curriculum and graduate from Field Junior with a passion for continuing their education.
