We are a Voluntary Controlled
primary co-educational school for boys and girls between the ages of 4+
and 11 years. In addition the
school has an integrated nursery / reception class.
Nursery children attend for either a morning or afternoon session.
The provision for nursery children between the ages of
3-4+ is 13 per session. ( We are almost full)
The
school is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac at the southern end of Greatham
Village, with countryside and woodland on one side and industry, at a
distance, on the other.
There are 112 F.T.E. pupils on the roll mainly from the village, the surrounding
farms and the Fens Estate, which lies within the Parish boundary. Children from outside this area are welcome and can be admitted for
Christian and social reasons, providing there is room.
The small number of pupils attribute to the close, caring
atmosphere of the school.
Greatham
School has 4 classrooms, a multi-purpose hall (which is well equipped with
large and small P.E. apparatus) and its own kitchen. The Early Years classroom is an integral part of the school
building. We also have the
following provision for work: a computer suite, a wide variety of
musical instruments, maths, science and technology equipment and a
microwave oven for food technology.
Externally
there are grassed playing fields, a playground, a fully enclosed nursery
playground, formal gardens and a nature/wildlife area which is being
developed and tended by the children.
A
Board of Governors administers the school.
This includes representatives of parents, staff,
the Parish, the
Diocese and Hartlepool Education Authority.
