To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor. Be Allergy Aware Posters for AAW25

We have the opportunity for parents to visit Penbridge Infant School for a tour on Tuesday 3rd November and Wednesday 4th November at 10am. You will have a chance to see Year R classrooms and Year R's outside area. There will be the opportunity for questions on the day. Call the school office to arrange your session. There will be a limit of four parents per tour.

Thinking about our Thinking

We want every student in our schools to be inquisitive and confident in themselves. Our thinking toolkit is how we support them through this journey. 

These tools are used in tandem with an approach to teaching that instils a growth mindest and ‘can do’ attitude. Through their time in a Thinking School, students will develop the right habits to ensure they are successful throughout education and beyond.

Thinking about Our Thinking: Hats, Maps and Keys

A core part of Cognitive Education is the use of 'Thinking Tools'. Students in our classroom will learn to structure and organise their thinking through the use of Thinking Hats, Maps and Keys. 

Each tool helps navigate students through three distinct pathways: Hats Organise thinking; Maps Visualise thinking; and Keys Engage and Motivate thinking.
