We have over 430 pupils at the school with a further 70 on roll at our nursery. Our aim is to provide all of our children with opportunities to experience a broad, balanced, exciting and rich curriculum. It is important that children experience a wide range of subjects and topics to unlock learning, identify skills and develop them.

Extra curricular experiences are important to us and we like to make use of our locality as well as organise trips and residentials.

We enjoy our sport at North Town and very much promote the importance of winning well and losing well, showing respect to other teams and officials and enjoying all the many events we take part in.

We are extremely lucky to have access to the college to make use of their facilities including their theatre, sports hall and field and classrooms.

The North Town community are extremely supportive and it is important to us that we work together to give the children the best education possible. It is vital that parents and carers are supported with how they can help with learning at home and we aim to invite parents to meetings so that they can learn about the teaching of phonics, reading, maths and much more.

Our ethos allows children to become confident, successful learners in a welcoming, engaging, safe and holistic environment. Children have an excellent learning attitude and are resilient, well-rounded citizens who contribute to all aspects of school life.

Positive relationships are valued across the school community. We believe this should be supportive, trusting, nurturing, open and built on mutual respect where adults lead by example in line with the ethos of the school.

• We promote a broad, balanced and inspiring curriculum that is ambitious for all children. We encourage everyone to develop a lifelong love of learning which provides the opportunity for new experiences and promotes links with our local and global communities.
• Purposeful opportunities are provided for all staff to develop professionally. Training and development are linked to the School Improvement Plan and is valued and prioritised. It promotes the sharing of good practice with other schools in the trust and beyond.
• All members of our school community are valued and work effectively in a positive environment. Work life balance and well-being are placed at the centre of everything that we do.

The ambition is for all the organisations within Huish to retain their individual autonomy to best serve their local communities whilst also benefitting from the collective advantages of working closely with other like-minded partners.
