To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor. Be Allergy Aware and Save A Life - see more here.

Children leading

Children in our school hold a variety of roles that help them make a contribution to our community. These roles include acting as School Councillors and Sports Leaders and we are developing our digital leaders. Every child and adult in the community thinks of themselves as a citizen of Furzeham Primary School, and every citizen is equally valued and respected; participates in their own and others’ learning; feels safe and protected from harm; and has their voice heard. As citizens of Furzeham Primary we recognise our responsibility to be positive role models and to demonstrate through our words and actions that we are proud of ourselves, proud of each other and proud of our school.

Our school motto; ‘Treat others as you would like to be treated’
