We want all our children in our care to be happy, safe, confident, successful, independent creative responsible with a respect for each other and everything around them. Muxton School opened in January 1995 and serves the residential area of Muxton, an area of predominantly owner-occupied housing in north east Telford. We have approximately 344 children on roll. Our school is organised into Early Year Setting with two reception classes, Key Stage 1 has one class of Year 1, one class of Year1/2 and one class of Year 2. In Key Stage 2 there are three classes for Year3/4 and three classes for Year 5/6.
As a school community, we are very proud of our achievements and successes. Staff, governors, parents and pupils work closely together to ensure that the school is effective and that pupils are highly motivated, successful and enjoy a sense of fulfilment.
Our most recent OFSTED inspection judged us to be ‘good with a range of outstanding features’. The report reflected the positive views of parents who describe it as a ‘delightfully friendly school’ and that visitors are ‘struck by the pupils’ excellent standards of behaviour and their enthusiasm for learning’. Our children care about their school and each other with the enjoyment of their learning as a significant feature.
The school itself is situated in a very pleasant and secure environment and we are very fortunate with our grounds, buildings and resources. Interactive whiteboards are in all classrooms as well as group sets of laptops. In addition to modern classrooms, we have a music room, adventure playground, a recently developed outside learning area for the younger children as well as a designated Forest School area. This is a newly developing site to support the Creative Curriculum and extending children’s learning into the outdoors.
We have been awarded the Gold Artsmark Award for the second time which recognises our commitment to music, dance, art and drama and how much we value the arts curriculum to enhance children’s enjoyment and success. We also hold the Active Mark Award for sport and we have recently received the Healthy Schools Award.
I hope that this prospectus gives a broad outline of the opportunities offered to our children at Muxton School. We encourage you to visit us and see for yourself the excellent education and opportunities that we provide.
Please contact us to make an appointment – it would give us much pleasure to meet you and show you around our school.
