Dear Parent,

It is with pleasure that the Governors, Headteacher and staff present you with these web pages. We hope that it will provide you with an insight into the aims and objectives of the school, as well as giving information about its organisation and running. We in Porth Junior School are committed to developing electronic communication and see this as a very important part of our children's future.

Aims and Objectives
The aims of our school represent the long term philosophy and ethos, whilst objectives are specific goals through the attainment of which the aims are achieved.

Aims
The overall aim is to make every child confident in his/her ability within a well structured and happy environment. We want to give the children a desire to learn and this requires the development of a wide range of strategies to keep children highly motivated.

Objectives
The greatest influence will be the experience of the attitudes displayed by those closest to the children by their actions and deeds. Sincere affection, respect, understanding, trust, encouragement, praise, differentiation between faults and mistakes, fairness – all these must be accepted by all teachers as normal in every aspect of life.

We want to do the very best we can for your child. We hope that you too will want to share in this enjoyable and challenging task. We look forward to working together with you. If you require any further assistance, please contact me.
