Come and visit our Outstanding Early Years Provision. Children get off to an exceptionally strong start. (Ofsted 23) We are delighted to welcome you to Crazies Hill Church of England Primary School; a small rural primary school with a great reputation for growing exemplary learners.
Our vision is taken from Matthew Chapter 7 Verse 20: A tree is known by its fruit, people by their actions. Our fruit are our children and adults who have the resilience to weather life's ups and downs, show respect for themselves, others and their environment and demonstrate the ability to build and maintain good relationships with all in their community.
Every Crazies Hill pupil fulfils our vision through their deep understanding and demonstration of our values: Relationships , Resilience and Respect . Maths in Action! This week, Year 2 have been busy collecting and recording data using their own tally charts.
Meanwhile, Year 1 have been working hard on partitioning numbers to 100 into tens and ones, showing great focus and understanding. To bring the learning to life, we took maths outside and built giant part-whole models using PE equipment turning numbers into movement and fun!
