Sibford Junior School
Sibford Junior School, which caters for children from the age of four to 11, occupies its own distinctive area of the school’s 50-acre campus. This means it can operate as a self-contained unit while still being part of the whole school.
In line with our Quaker ethos, our junior children are encouraged to think and act in a way that encourages self-respect, understanding and tolerance. They quickly learn that they are supported through their mistakes and failings and applauded for their successes. This enhances self-esteem and encourages an enduring sense of personal value and a belief that we all have something to offer.
Opportunities exist for children of varying abilities and talents to flourish and discover the space to grow. Parents of children who join us are amazed how soon they become more comfortable with themselves and begin to thrive.
OUTSTANDING PROVISION
The Independent Schools Inspectorate has recently assessed Sibford Junior School's Early Years Foundation Stage as 'outstanding' and congratulated the school on providing its youngest pupils with a learning experience that is ‘enjoyable’ and where ‘individual needs are met’.
The report, entitled ‘The effectiveness of the early years foundation stage’, says that pupils: “make very good progress during the course of the year in their learning and development and are motivated by the milestones they achieve.”
It adds: “The strong focus on free choice activities enables children to explore their own avenues of enquiry. The children have a good understanding of how to stay safe, demonstrate high levels of enjoyment in class and take pride in their work.”
