At Springfield Primary School, we strive to ensure that our pupils become confident, competent, resilient and knowledgeable mathematicians who enjoy learning and develop a can-do attitude. We believe that all pupils can succeed in mathematics and they should achieve their full potential. The skills and knowledge they learn should support them in their next stage of their education and equip them with key skills to help them in everyday life.

We have our own playing field, which has seasonal provision for one football pitch, two rounders pitches and a running circuit. There are two playgrounds, one with a netball court marked out and another with climbing apparatus for the younger children. We also have an adventure play area for the older children.

We have a computer suite where each class is timetabled for at least one lesson a week and also eight trolleys of laptops which can be used in any classroom.

Our new home learning systems will be in place from September 2021. Please see the updated policy.

Through Class Council all pupils have the opportunity to raise issues, share ideas and take part in discussions that involve all of their classmates in reaching a democratic solution.  Wider issues that arise at Class Council are discussed further at School Council, This ensures that as many pupil voices as possible are heard.  Pupils at Springfield know that this is their school and their thoughts and ideas matter.
