All staff at Springfield Primary School believe in the development of the whole child. We have high expectations of academic success, but this does not detract from the fact that it is also the personal qualities that we embed in each of our pupils that will ultimately see them through to realise their ambitions and dreams.
As a Pastoral Lead at Springfield Primary School, I work with children and their families, to reduce barriers to learning and to help raise self-esteem, enabling the children to reach their full potential and to receive a full all-round education.
My work is to complement and support everyone involved in the teaching of the children, and to promote a safe, secure and happy environment in which the children can learn.
I work with the children on a one-to-one basis, in group work and within the class. I also run a club at lunchtimes, in our Butterfly Room, where children can drop in for a chat. I work closely with parents and carers and run groups helping us all to understand our children’s behaviours.
If you would like to contact me I am available four days a week – Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 8am until 5pm. You are welcome to come into school and make an appointment, telephone the school or email me on jillkettley@springfield-pri.essex.sch.uk
I look forward to meeting you.
Jill Kettley
Pastoral Lead
Pupils told inspectors they are safe at school. They learn how to stay safe through personal, social and health education lessons and assemblies. They demonstrate a good understanding of internet safety.
