Extreme Weather Conditions

In the light of recent experience, please note the following:

 

In the unlikely event that the school is to be closed, an announcement will  be made on Heart and Three Counties radio stations, a notice will appear on our website and a sign will be placed at the school entrance.  All this will be done as near as possible to 7.00 a.m.  This sign will be for the benefit of parents.  (Please note that if we are open in poor weather our usual telephone check on absent pupils may well be delayed or disrupted if large numbers are absent).

If your child is absent when the school is open then a letter explaining the reasons will be required, as normal.

If some school staff have difficulty getting in to school, it may be necessary to run a changed timetable.  At break times, weather and safety permitting, pupils may be allowed outside to play in the snow and they should be appropriately dressed.

The above information will be placed in the next Newsletter and will be posted on our website under "Notice Board" and "Letters to Parents".

If there is a need to close the school DURING the school day, a text message will be sent via 'Keep Kids Safe'.  The proforma responses we received back from you will be used to decide whether to keep children in school until 3.30 p.m. until you collect them or whether we send your child(ren) home.  Your contact details must be up to date to help with this.

Our new telephone number for reporting pupil absences is: 0845 3570159 or text to: 076248 12166

Welcome to
Linslade Middle School

As Headteacher I am extremely proud of Linslade Middle School.  Our recent Ofsted Inspection supports my view that our school provides extremely good opportunities for learning and personal developments. We offer an outstanding, values-based ethos in which everyone cares for everyone else. Our pupils enjoy school and work hard. They have ample opportunities to actively involve themselves in a wide variety of activities.

My team and I  strongly recommend that anyone looking to find a new school for their children should visit during a normal working day as well as attending the special day(s) or evening(s) which all schools offer. We are confident that you will be impressed with what you see at Linslade Middle; quality cannot be judged except by actual experience. All you have to do is to telephone us to make the arrangements.

When you visit us you will see that we provide a superb environment, facilities, resources and staff for our pupils.  We ensure that our pupils are stimulated, challenged and supported.  You will be shown around by pupils as well as having the opportunity to meet me.  As you walk round the school you will see a high level of mutual respect and cooperation with calm and purposeful lessons.

We have our annual Open Day this year on 7^th November 2009 from 9.30 am to 12.00 noon. 

Whilst we recognise that everyone is an individual, we also believe that high expectations allow everyone to thrive.  Our uniform and appearance policies are aimed at allowing pupils to be children and to take the pressure of fashion consciousness out of school life.  We value our pupils and we try to offer ourselves as good examples of how we expect them to behave towards other members of the community.  Our aim is for everyone at Linslade Middle School to be successful and this cannot always be measured by academic achievements alone. 

If you are looking for a high performing school for your child, why not put Linslade Middle School to the test? Compare our Ofsted report with other county middle schools by visiting  http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/  and entering the school’s name in the search bar.

I look forward to welcoming you and answering any questions you may have.
