A Community Infants School is Our School (co-educational day school) Mr. G. Wilder OBE is the executive head teacher, and Mrs. M. Pryor is the deputy executive head teacher. Mrs. J. Barrett is the school's head. Education Status Please click the following link to see if the school is open: http://www.lbbd.gov.uk/Education/SchoolStatus/Pages/SchoolsStatus.aspx Furze Infants' School and Warren Junior School merged to form the Hard Federation on September 1, 2010, allowing one governing body to administer two distinct schools.
This increased the level of resources available to both schools to help the students.
The Furze Infants' School is located in the Borough's northern region.
All school activities are conducted in a cooperative team environment, and it is expected that parents, teachers, and everyone else who interacts with the school will contribute to meeting the educational needs of the students.
All of our staff members are dedicated to effectively including kids with a variety of educational needs.
A vibrant excitement for learning in a well-organized, relaxed environment reflects the school's character.
Each class's instructor is in charge of the kids' education and is aware that each kid needs special attention.
Additionally, supply teachers may be used to cover for missing or ill teachers in the classroom.
For the benefit of the students' education, it is crucial that our teachers attend courses for their own professional growth and to be "up to date."
Every term, open evenings are held.
Teachers can provide parents advice on how to support their kids at home during these meetings, ensuring that parents and teachers collaborate for the good of the kids.
Furze Website Visit our informative and helpful website at http://furzeinfants.schooljotter2.com.
Our academic day The following is the structure of our school day (doors open at 8.45am for full-time students): 1 and 2 years.
All full-time students at our school report for class at 8:55 a.m.
Children should be brought to school by parent or carers at 8.45am to the appropriate waiting area/door for their child's class (either via the playground or via the grass area in front of the school hall) and then must be handed over to the member/s of staff on duty for each class.
We ask parents/carers to ensure that their children arrive at least 10 minutes before the bell (8.55am) so that they are ready to come into school when it opens at 8.45am.
We ask parents to make every effort to arrive in time to pick up their children when school lets out since children become very anxious and distressed if they are not collected in a timely manner.
Children who are regularly picked up late will be viewed as "causes for worry," and the school may need to emphasise that their carers are neglecting them.
For parents to sign and note the reason for any late pickup or attendance, we keep a "Late register" in the school office.
Furze Infants uses online registration.
It is crucial that the kids arrive at school on time and are prepared for online registration.
At Furze Infants School, punctuality and regular attendance are highly valued.
Parents are legally responsible for ensuring that their children attend school regularly and on time and are collected on time.
The Windmill Logo's History.
Parents often ask us why we have Three Windmills on our school logo.
We wanted the emblem to reflect an aspect of the history of this area and discovered that there were three Post Mills in a group in Chadwell Heath.
