Teach Prospectus 2020-2021

W elcome ! This prospectus is intended to help you know more about the life and work of the 4 primary schools within the TEACH Multi Academy Trust. TEACH, The Educational Alliance of Canford Heath, was formed in April 2015 with the commitment to work together to benefit the children who attend our 4 schools but also our local community. The 4 schools within TEACH, Ad Astra Infants, Haymoor Juniors, Canford Heath Infants, and Canford Heath Juniors, have all come together to raise not only standards of pupil attainment and improve pupil progress, but to also benefit from shared resourcing, economies of scale and collaborative practice. We are proud that all our schools are judged either `Good` or `Outstanding` by Ofsted, and are well regarded by other local schools as a source of excellent practice and pedagogy. As Unicef-accredited Gold Rights Respecting schools across the Trust we place the Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC) at the forefront of all decisions and we are truly ‘Children First’ (Article 3). We are confident that no matter which TEACH school you send your child to, they will get the best education and care possible. Myself and the four Heads of School across the Trust, have a passion for ‘primary education’, and our admissions policy and overall ethos is to promote an educational experience for the children that is truly primary focussed. If you choose to send your child to one of our Trust schools, we look forward to welcoming them, and you, into our school community, and to helping your child participate fully in all we have to offer. We are confident that your child will look back at their time with us with very fond, lifelong memories. Kate Carter BA (Hons) PGCE NPQH CEO/Executive Headteacher Kate Carter CEO/Executive Headteacher
