Fletewood School at Derry Villas is Independent Primary school in Plymouth for kids aged 2 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
Fletewood School is a Christian Independent School for boys and girls of all faiths between the ages of three and eleven, dedicated to the discovery of excellence in each child.
Class One
Exploration is a key factor of your child’s development. Here in Class One, the children have the opportunity to discover and develop their knowledge, skills and understanding on a daily basis, without even realising they are learning! They use an on-line learning journal that both staff and parents can contribute to, making your child’s education truly collaborative. As a school, we get to see your child’s interests at home and as a parent, you are regularly updated on your child’s progress and learning opportunities in school. This makes it possible to tailor each child’s educational needs to a very personal and specific degree, ensuring that your child makes the maximum progress possible.
Class Two
In class two, the children are encouraged to develop their independence. They are taught to become more responsible for their own possessions and for their own learning. When their formal work is finished for the day, the children do group activities using pattern blocks, multilink, iPads, etc, whilst the teachers listen to individuals reading. Every child reads to an adult three or four times a week.Class two visit the university sports’ hall each week during the autumn, spring and first half of the summer term. They enjoy the freedom of space and the responsibility of walking sensibly with the teachers to the university across the road.
Class Three
Learning to be responsible for both themselves and their own learning is a key factor in Class Three. The focus continues to be developing a ‘Love for Learning’, with many opportunities available for the children to work independently at their own pace within a supportive, focused structure. There are also activities that are set up to allow the children to do extra work to further the own learning, both within the school day and outside of school.Starting to focus on this independent, responsible learning will prepare the children for Class Four and, ultimately, for Secondary School and beyond.
Class Four
Class Four builds on the training of the other classes and is responsible for preparing the children for transition into secondary education. The children are taught to be responsible for the ‘tools of their trade’ and are expected to be prepared to engage wisely and efficiently in their learning. Dedication to their studies is encouraged and it is understood that learning does not end with the school day, and quality, personal study at home is expected.
