Kincraig Primary School is located in the Bispham area of Blackpool. The school opened its doors for the first time in 1997, since then the school has been extended and modernised significantly.
The school is currently one form entry and is built on one level and although appearing small from Kincraig Road, the premises opens up to reveal a modern and stimulating environment where the pupils enjoy learning. We have 10 classes in school which are broken down into phases:
- The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) – Baby room, Toddler room, Pre-school room and Reception
- Key Stage One (KS1) – Year 1 and Year 2
- Key Stage Two (KS2) – Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6
From Reception through to Year 6 we have up to 30 children per class. The school boasts a colourful library in the atrium, an intervention room and a hall used for a variety of different activities throughout the day. We are very lucky to have a large surrounding field for outside activities and a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA). We also have a ‘Hobbit House’ in the playground for outdoor learning. We have an onsite kitchen which enables our cook to prepare the children nutritious lunches fresh each day.
The teaching staff are talented, experienced and passionate about providing the best possible learning experiences for all the children. They always put the needs of the children, whether they be educational, personal or social, as their first and most important priority. They employ a range of teaching styles and techniques to enable the children to achieve the highest possible standards.
Parents are encouraged to take an active role in the school. They are invited to support teachers through such activities as hearing children read or assisting them on the computers. They are also invited into school termly for parent drop ins on Theme days, Class Assemblies and termly to meet the class teacher to discuss their child’s progress.
It is important to us all at Kincraig that parents feel part of our school too and always feel welcome. If you have not visited the school and would like to, do not hesitate to contact us and we will arrange an appointment.
I am proud to be the Head teacher of Kincraig and to know I am leading an exceptional team of staff to provide the very best possible education for all the children in our care.
