About Us
The School was
opened in its present form by Mr. and Mrs. White in September 1982.
The buildings housed the original Church of England village school, closed
down by the Local Education Authority some years before. Since 1982,
the school has expanded and the site has now fully developed.
|
| Plumtree is an independent, co-educational,
primary school with its own nursery class. The school is situated in
the centre of Plumtree within easy reach of West Bridgford, Keyworth and
surrounding villages to the South of Nottingham. |

School Today
|
The aim of the school is to provide a
balanced education relative to the needs and potential of each
child. At Plumtree, a happy, working atmosphere in small classes
allows close individual attention.
Priority is given to the basic subjects
at all levels throughout the school. A solid foundation in
mathematics, English and science is considered vitally important. A
high standard in presentation of work, behaviour and manners is regarded
as essential.
|
| Children may begin our nursery class at
three years old, moving into the infant department between the ages of
four to five years. The junior department caters for children of
seven years old and above. |
|
The school has strong links with the
village and St. Mary's Church, where school services are held. Moral
education is of great importance and at Plumtree, children are encouraged
to develop a sense of responsibility and learn to play a worthwhile role
in the life of the community.
Each child's progress and development
is monitored through a series of internal tests and continual
assessment. Parents receive a termly report. Each term parents
are given the opportunity to discuss the progress of their child with the
teachers concerned. Individual interviews with teaching staff are
always available by appointment.
|
| Parents wishing to know more should
contact the Head Teachers. Curricular and organisational information
relating to each department, plus staffing details are available on
request. |
