ABOUT US
Welcome
Hello and welcome to Glastonbury Thorn School. If your child is to join us for the first time we welcome you as parents/carers and look forward to a happy and successful partnership over the coming years. If you already have a child here, we are pleased to renew the links between us.
Confidence in a school comes from knowing and understanding what is happening within it. We hope you will develop your knowledge of Glastonbury Thorn through contact and discussion with our members of staff and governors. We invite you to take advantage of the many opportunities we offer for you to come into school. It is important that mutual understanding and trust should be the basis of our shared responsibility.
We believe Glastonbury Thorn is a very special school. We hope that when you have visited us, you will want to come and join our school community.
School History
Glastonbury Thorn School opened in September 1993 and from September 2002 became a Foundation School. It was named after the Glastonbury Thorn tree which grows in the local churchyard.
Glastonbury Thorn was originally built to serve the Shenley Church End and Crownhill grid squares. However, we are a popular school with a high profile both locally and further a field – currently 52% of our children live outside our defined area.
The school underwent an Ofsted inspection under the new more rigorous framework in February 2010 (the report can be viewed on the Ofsted website: www.ofsted.gov.uk or can be downloaded here in pdf format). We are very proud of our school and it was wonderful to have our many strengths validated in this way. However, we are not complacent, and are always looking for ways to further improve –we strive to achieve our mission statement "Every day getting better in every way".
The design of the main building is open plan with a large teaching area, three practical areas and home bases for each class. We have a library, ICT suite, staff workroom, spacious hall and a music/drama room. In 2006 we held the official opening of our new purpose–built Foundation Stage annex. This includes three home bases, a large shared area, and a secure outdoor area.
The external environment includes children's seating in the playground, grassy areas and a large natural pond within a landscaped garden which provides a superb on-site resource for environmental studies. A fence is positioned around the pond area for safety. We are currently improving the external grounds of the school and with funding from our hard working Friends Association, we are planning to install a stage area, a climbing area and a secret den for all our children to enjoy!

ADMISSIONS
Parents are most welcome to visit the school and see it in operation at any time. Please telephone Sheila, our administrator, on (01908) 504648 to arrange a mutually convenient appointment.
We currently admit up to 90 children at the start of each year. Please apply to the school office for a registration form.
Our School Admissions Criteria applies to the admission of children who are:
- starting school for the first time in the year in which they are five;
- requesting admission during the year, for example, those who have just moved into the area.
Children with Statements of Special Educational Needs naming Glastonbury Thorn School will be given priority for admission in the normal round of admissions for children starting school for the first time.
In the event of there being greater demand for admission into a particular year group than there are places available, places will be allocated in the following priority order:
- Children in Care.
- Pupils who live in the defined area, Shenley Church End and Crownhill to the south of and including Monro Avenue and Marley Grove. Proof of permanent residence may be required.
- Pupils with a brother or sister who will be on roll at the time of admission (See sibling definition).
- Other pupils for whom Glastonbury Thorn School is a preference.
In the event of over-subscription in any category, places will be allocated using the following tiebreaker:
Distance will be measured by the shortest walking route from the front door of the child's home to the school's main entrance gate, using the Local Authority's computerised measuring system with those living closer to the school receiving the higher priority.
It is important to bear in mind the criteria when completing the admission form.
Please note there is no automatic right to a place at Glastonbury Thorn School even if your child has a sibling already attending the school.
Sibling
A sibling is a brother or sister, which for admission purposes means brothers and sisters of whole or half blood or any other child (including an adopted child) who permanently resides at the same address and for whom the parent also has parental responsibility.
Multiple births
In cases where there is one remaining place available and the next child on the waiting list is one of a twin, triplet or other multiple birth group, the following will apply:
- For admission to Key Stage 1, when class sizes are limited to 30, only one child may be admitted. This will be the child who has the first name alphabetically. Parents have the option of seeking an alternative school able to admit both (or all) of the children.
Applying for a school place
For children starting school for the first time you should complete the council's admissions application form, which can be collected from the school. You should also read the council's Information for Parents booklet.
The form should be returned to the school by the closing date. Governors will consider all applications. However, the council will confirm whether a school place has been allocated in March 2010.
SCHOOL THEME
To celebrate our tenth year we transformed our school into the ‘Rainbow Jungle’! The rainbow comes from the school logo and the jungle theme was chosen after discussion with both staff and children. Our school caters for three year groups;Foundation Stage, Year One and Year Two. Each year group is known as a different coloured zone. These are as follows:
Foundation Stage – Green Zone
Year One – Red Zone
Year Two – Blue Zone
As you walk through the school it is clear which Zone you are in as we have used colour co-ordinated furniture, soft furnishings and decoration.
Within each zone there are three classes, these are identified by different jungle animals. These are as follows:
Foundation Stage – Green Zone
Year One – Red Zone
Year Two – Blue Zone
Our aim for the themed idea is to give each year group and class their own identity, benefiting for both the children and staff who work in them, as well as visitors to the school. It is our normal practice to reorganise classes across the year group for the beginning of each school year. This gives the children the opportunity to develop more friendships and ensures a positive learning environment for everyone.
ACHIEVEMENTS
Ofsted inspection
In February 2010 our school was one of the first to be inspected under the new more rigorous Ofsted inspection framework. Overall we were assessed as a good school and we were very pleased that the inspectors stated "many of the outstanding features outlined in the last report have been sustained". The report is a very positive one and recognises the many strengths of our school. The Governors and staff team are already addressing the recommendations contained in the report.
National Profile
We have worked hard to develop a positive learning environment for our children based on high self-esteem, different learning styles and success for all –we believe everyone is gifted and talented at something (In which ways are you SMART?). A major focus of our teaching is to provide broad and creative learning experiences for all our children. This approach has gained us a high profile both locally and further afield. We provide training for schools across the country, in the last 2 years 46 schools have visited Glastonbury Thorn to see the learning environment we have created.
In 2006 a Belair educational book was published on our school and the approaches we use for the benefit of our children – since publication it has been a "best seller" in its particular field!
National Awards
Over the last couple of years we have been delighted to receive a number of national awards:
- Basic Skills Quality Mark, which is given to schools who effectively plan and teach reading, writing and mathematics.
- Artsmark Gold & Silver for creative teaching and success in art, PE, music and drama.
- Investors in People, which is given to organisations who are shown to positively train and support staff for the benefit of the children.
- National Schools Healthy Status awarded to schools who promote and support healthy living for everyone in the school community.
- National sports Activemark, to acknowledge the range of physical activities and commitment to physical education that we include in our curriculum.
- National FMSiS (Financial Management Systems in School), which is given to schools with effective financial systems.
- International School Award, to acknowledge our rich and diverse curriculum and the international links we have made.
We are very proud of Glastonbury Thorn and feel it is important to share out successes with you as they are a reflection of the hard work and commitment of everyone involved in the school. However we are never complacent and firmly believe we can always do even better.
Indeed our school's vision statement is "Every day getting better in every way"!

CHILDREN @ GT
This section of the web site is used to show the pictures of Glastonbury Thorn school and some of our children's artwork. It also provides details of clubs that our pupils can attend after-school.
CLUBS
At Glastonbury Thorn we aim to provide a range of activities for children beyond the normal school day. Examples of these activities include Football, Cheerleading, Dance, Drama, French, Music and Art. We do use outside groups to help run some of these activities which may, therefore, mean there would be a small charge.
GOLDEN TIME
In our school we have a positive rewards system in place that recognises all forms of social and academic achievement and effort. Golden Time is central to our rewards system. It operates on the basis that every child has the entitlement to 30 minutes Golden Time on a Friday afternoon when children in negotiation with teachers can undertake special organised activities such as painting, sport and drama. Golden Time is promoted as a reward for adhering to the Golden Rules and demonstrating good behaviour in school.

SMART ASSEMBLIES
We see our assemblies as an important part of school life – a daily opportunity to come together as a school community to reflect on spiritual and moral issues, or share and celebrate our achievements.
We have a regular celebration assembly which involves our children, parents and the local community.
Every half-term during a Year group assembly Mrs Webb invites the children to share some of their out-of-school achievements with the rest of their year group. This gives them the opportunity to share their SMARTs (i.e. their strengths) in the areas of dance, drama, sport, music, art, swimming, gymnastics, horse-riding, nature etc. The children are invited to bring in any medals, awards, badges, certificates or trophies they have been given. They may also wear any special uniforms or bring along any equipment relating to their achievements. Sometimes the children give a short demonstration or performance of their talents (This is an option for those children with the confidence!).
Parents of those children taking part are invited along to the celebration assembly along with the coaches/teachers/tutors to join in, promote and "spread the word" about the tuition they offer.
Each assembly includes several children's achievements and over the year every child who wants to will have the opportunity to take part.

EVENTS
Throughout the year we have run a number of events during and after school.
Please click on the stars or menu above to view photographs from a number of our events.
D DATES – AUTUMN 2009
As part of our partnership with parents, we have recently set up a series of after school activity sessions for dads and their children to enjoy together. These are run with the help of the Milton Keynes Play Association. Sessions have included designing and building water rockets, and creating models with food. It seems the dads may have had even more fun than the children!

INVESTIGATION WEEK – SUMMER 2009
Our themed week in summer 2009 was investigation week. All the children in our school took part in a wide range of activities with an emphasis on science and maths. The tasks were deliberately open-ended and creative to ensure that they really challenged our children!

SPORTS DAY – JUNE 2009
Every summer term we hold our annual sports day. The children take part in a range of non-competitive physical challenges and traditional competitive track races. The event is always well supported by parents and thoroughly enjoyed by all!

ARTS WEEK – SPRING 2010
The whole school looked at Andy Gormley's, 'A field for the British Isles', an installation sculpture of thousands of clay figures made by over 100 volunteers from the pupils and their extended families of two local schools in St Helens. Using this as their inspiration, the children worked on their own individual 'sculptural self portraits'. They explored the use of clay for the modelling of their heads and selected materials to make their bodies, even the teachers and TA's joined in! When the figures were finished they were installed in the outdoor classroom on Thursday, to represent our school community as 'A field for Glastonbury Thorn'.
In Foundation Stage the children had the opportunity to explore making sculpture with lots of different materials; dismantled household objects, shells, sand, and other natural materials, tissue forms as well as working on 'big art' creating pictures on a large scale using their natural curiosity to develop their creative thinking. The children were also encouraged to bring their favourite piece of music to share with the class and responded to it in different ways.
Year one worked on an Easter theme, looking at the craft of stained glass. They saw how various artists, old and new, have interpreted the 'Easter Story' in stained glass and worked on their own individual designs using a ' wax resist' method to illustrate their ideas. Working together they selected elements to incorporate into their group design which they then produced using tissue paper and PVA glue to create an 'Easter Rose Window', for each class room.
Year two used ICT to explore the work of Henry Moore through the Tate Gallery's interactive 'sculpture detective' site. They worked in groups to make human sculptures of animals, composing their own 'soundscapes' to accompany their performance, as well as making 'big art' animals outside using the PE equipment. Reflecting on their individual and group personalities they created sculptures that represent more personal aspects of' who they are', thinking about things they like to do or take part in outside of school.
All the children took part in Bhangra dancing, dancing to Grease, a drumming session and had the opportunity to listen to a professional pianist and a professional guitarist.
Many thanks to all the parents and members of the local community who got involved and supported this special week.

CREATIVE PARTNERSHIPS PROJECT – THROUGH THE DOOR – AUTUMN 2008
In autumn 2008, our year 1 children took part in an exciting Literacy based project working in collaboration with Creative Partnerships; a team of Drama specialists who teamed up with Glastonbury Thorn to develop and enhance our children's literacy skills.
The project was known as "Leaving the door open" and was based on the idea of children travelling through doorways into imaginary worlds leaving the real world behind them!!! They created stories with exciting characters and settings within these imaginary worlds.
The project was a huge success and without doubt taught the children and teachers a range of new and exciting literacy based ideas. We were able to track the children's progress throughout the project and their speaking, listening and writing skills improved dramatically as a consequence of their involvement with this exciting venture.

BRING YOUR DAD TO SCHOOL – MAY 2008
On 22nd May 2008, Glastonbury Thorn School hosted their first 'Bring Your Dad To School Day' (BYD2SD). The school, which only anticipated around 80 guests to attend, were thrilled to see over 140 Dads, Granddads and Uncles come along to share in the fun.
Supported by MK Dons, the Play Association and Great Holm Fire Service, children and grown ups could be seen building spaghetti towers, learning about fire engines, shooting 'spelling' penalties, racing homemade go-karts and designing revolting sandwiches! The event was planned to give children the chance to share their learning with their Dads, especially in the subjects of reading and writing. Comments from the visitors were all very positive: "A fantastic event it was great to see how my child learns", "Fab day, fab school!".
The day was such a success we have decided to make it a biennial event. Watch out for the next BYD2SD on 27th May 2010!

FRIENDS @ GT
Contact: Becky Killoran, Chair of Friends Association
The Glastonbury Thorn School Friends Association organises social events to raise money for the school. We meet regularly at school to organise and plan the timetable of events. Meeting dates are advertised in school and everyone is welcome to attend. The Committee is an elected group of parents who represent the school. The Head Teacher and a staff representative also sit on the committee. Although schools receive government funding for basics, there are many things which are not included in the budget, so the aim of the association is to contribute towards the extras which help make your child's education special.
Some of the ways we have helped recently include paying for:
- Christmas presents for all the children, delivered by Father Christmas.
- A touring children's pantomime performance.
- Leavers presents for all Year 2 children.
- A trim trail for the playground.
- New equipment, such as digital cameras.
- An outdoor classroom.
- An artist to visit the school during Arts Week.
Over the past school year, some of the ways we have raised funds are by holding cake sales, a school disco, a catwalk show, a family Christmas party, selling DVDs of the children's school performances and having an Easter egg raffle.
We are always happy to welcome anyone who would like to get involved with Friends, so please contact us through Reception or join us at the AGM in September, when we need to elect the new committee. It's a good way to meet other parents and get actively involved with the life of the school.
