Look around our school


School Prospectus

Lakes Primary School is a Redcar and Cleveland Local Education Authority Primary School for children between the ages of 3 and 11 years. The school role is approximately 280 children receiving full time education.

In addition to the full-time classes, there is a part-time (mornings only) Key Stage 2 Support Base for children with Moderate Learning Difficulties and a designated Nursery. The school comprises of three buildings, the smallest building being the Nursery, which is sited on the extreme left of the site. Older children in the Foundation Stage (children in Reception) are taught within the Key Stage One (KS1) building. The Key Stage Two (KS2) Department is on the right of the school site. The school administration area is situated in the KS2 building. All visitors to the school should report to the main office/Reception in the first instance.

The organisation of teaching groups is reviewed annually according to both the number of children on the school roll, the needs of the children and staffing levels. Information regarding the organisation for the year ahead will be published each summer term and distributed to parents/carers as an Annual Information Supplement to the Prospectus.

The school is a pleasant and attractive environment and is pleasingly situated next to Redcar Racecourse, with an outlook to the hills. The large school site has been extensively developed to provide a rich and diverse outdoor environment. The continual development of the school grounds supports learning across the curriculum and promotes health, sport, environmental awareness, and imaginative play. The grounds provide an exciting venue for childcare outside of normal school hours.

A Sure Start facility, attached to Lakes Nursery, was officially opened on the school site in September 2003. This has provided many additional opportunities for parents and young children to access a wide range of activities and support services.

One of our main aims is to work in partnership with parents/carers and their children to enable all children to achieve high standards and to develop socially, emotionally and spiritually. Lakes School is a health-promoting school (recognised as achieving the National Healthy School Standards) and has many policies and practices intended to ensure that the needs of all pupils are recognised and addressed.

Our Home-School Agreement sets out our expectations of parents/carers and their children and also summarises our commitment to parents and their children.
