Dear Parents,

Welcome to Reckleford School and Nursery! Thank you for taking the time to read our school’s prospectus. I trust that you will find it informative and that it will give you an appreciation of our priorities here at Reckleford. This in turn will enable you to make an informed decision with regards to your child’s primary education.

Happy, inspired & motivated children are vital to the success of any school, and we believe that our school provides a fun, caring & safe environment for your children to start developing & learning.

The dedicated and caring teaching and support staff work tirelessly to ensure that each child is given the opportunity to achieve. The Governing Body take pride in the achievements of the school & want every child to get the most from their time spent at Reckleford. This is achieved by enabling all of the children to experience a diverse curriculum & by the school continually striving to improve the standard of education offered.

We are all very proud of our school here at Reckleford & look forward to welcoming you & your children.

With best wishes,

Tony Hind
Chair of Governors

​

As a school we recognise that a diversity of thought, voices and perspectives is essential to good governance and the effective running of any organisation. We regularly collect diversity information from our governors and, depending on current data, can use this to:

• target recruitment to address gaps in experience and diversity
• develop and adapt board practices to ensure full participation
• prioritise training and awareness-raising in identified areas
• address potential ‘blind spots’ through seeking wider advice and perspectives on current and upcoming opportunities, challenges and risks

However, we are unable to publish this information as it would mean that individual members of our governing body are identifiable.

You must be a passionate believer that all children, no matter what their experience, needs or challenges, should have an education which develops their emotional, physical and academic ability.

If that is you, we would love you to join our Governing Body – see the application form on this page.
