Background

Kells Lane Primary School was formed in 1997 by the amalgamation of Low Fell Infant and Junior Schools. It is classified as a community primary school providing education for children aged 4 to 11 and our school is located in the heart of the community of Low Fell.  Built in 1897, the large and characteristic Victorian building has over 100 years of history within.  The original internal features provide a spacious and open environment for learning.  Over the years many adaptations have been made to use the space to keep up with modern requirements.  The building and its grounds have many excellent attributes, for example two large halls provide an ample area for indoor PE, assemblies, end of term concerts and pantomimes. Outdoor facilities include an extensive all weather playground, a soft play area, a seated area and marked pitches for all forms of physical activity. The children in Reception, Year 1 and 2 are based in classrooms on the ground floor. Year 3 and 4 are housed on the first floor with the children in Year 5 and 6 and the dyslexic unit, being taught on the second floor.   Overall, the building supports the warm and friendly learning environment that exists in the school.

· Initially, the Reception children are taught from the Curriculum for the Foundation Stage.

· Years 1 and 2 form Key Stage 1 and are taught The National Curriculum Key Stage 1.

· Years 3 to 6 form Key Stage 2 and are taught The National Curriculum Key Stage 2.
