St Jude’s Primary Academy has an admissions limit of 60 pupils per year group in Key Stage 1 and Reception. In Key Stage Two, our admissions limit rises to 64 pupils.  We also have a Nursery and Terrific for Two’s availability. Classes are organised in mixed abilities although there are times when pupils may be taught in ability sets across their age related year group.

St Jude’s also offers Before and After School care through our ‘Rainbows Club’. 

The government have set out a 32.5 hour minimum expectation for children to be in school. The hours outlined above for children of school age meets this requirement and is calculated from the official start of the school day (i.e. morning registration) to the official end of the compulsory school day (i.e. official home time).

Teachers plan in year group teams in order to ensure that all children share similar experiences and have equal access to a broad, balanced and stimulating curriculum.

Assessment and record keeping is agreed throughout the school and a written report is produced for parents at the end of the Summer Term. The school offers opportunities for parents to discuss their child’s progress during termly consultation appointments. There are also open mornings where parents can pop into school and observe their child in different subjects.
