Our school and nursery is a community with learning at its heart: built on connection and relationships

We aim to: -

• Provide an ethos where children are valued and happy as their wellbeing needs are met and where their learning is appropriately supported and challenged
• Ensure children develop across the four capacities (Successful Learner, Confident Individual, Responsible Citizen  and Effective Contributor) and live our school and nursery values
• Equip our learners with the skills, knowledge and attitudes for learning, life and work
• Provide an equity of experience and opportunity to ensure all learners are able to fulfil their potential
• Raise attainment and narrow the attainment gap

• Safe
• Honest
• Aspiring
• Respectful
• Kind

We encourage our children to form positive dispositions towards learning and use a set of key words to establish a shared language around learning, over time we are currently connecting these to the meta skills and over time our learning words will be replaced by the meta-skills vocabulary:

• problem solve
• engage
• reflect and adapt
• wonder
• aim high
• persevere
• link learning

Touch School was built in 1970 and was extended in the first few years to establish a nursery.  The school was further extended in 2020 to provide an additional four classrooms.  In 2021 the nursery was refurbished and extended to provide three playrooms.

The school is surrounded by a large tarmac play area. There is also a wildlife garden, internal quad garden, blaze pitch, enclosed grass area and additional tarmac play area.  In addition to this, the nursery and five ground floor classrooms all have an enclosed, outdoor area, which allows free flow play between the inside and outdoor areas.
