Dear Parents/Guardians

If your child is joining us for the first time, we welcome you to our school and look forward to a happy and successful association.  If you already have a child at the school, we are pleased to renew and strengthen our links with you.

Crook Log opened in 1952.  It was built on land which had contained market gardens.  We have lots of trees, grassed areas, flower beds and playgrounds.  We also have a large wild life area which has a pond and Millennium woodland walk.  The school has two entrances, one onto Crook Log and one in Sydney Road.  We are set well back from the main road in quite a secluded area.  We are fortunate to be so close to the facilities of Crook Log Leisure Centre and Danson Park.

The school has been developed over the years with the addition of an Infant block.  This was further extended in 1989 to include a nursery class.  There have been improvements internally to incorporate resource areas, work spaces, a stage, and an I.C.T. Suite and externally to include new playgrounds and play equipment

Our last Ofsted inspection took place in September 2007.  The following is taken from the Overall Effectiveness of the School section of the report: "Parents wrote very positively and accurately about the school, commenting on for example the exceptional standards of pastoral care, the strong sense of community, the responsibility of the pupils' and importantly, their love of learning. These features are a result of the vision and focus of the Head Teacher who, together with leaders and managers, ensures high quality experiences are provided for all pupils at Crook Log Primary".

We aim to develop your child to their full potential.  In addition to gaining language, mathematic, scientific, aesthetic and technological skills, your child will build confidence and self-reliance, will learn to make decisions and establish close working relationships with both adults and children.

The school has a commitment to parental involvement.  It is important that we support one another.  We will keep you regularly informed of your child's progress and of activities and events within the school.  We look forward to a happy and successful association with you.

Yours sincerely

Stephanie Brown

Head Teacher
