DCAT UPDATE

We are delighted that Tollgate Community Junior School joined DCAT on 1st October 2023.  

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. You want your child to be safe and happy at school. You want their learning to be meaningful and enjoyable. We are delighted that we are in the process of joining the Diocese of Chichester Academy Trust. This is an exciting opportunity that will enable Tollgate to collaborate with other schools with a similar ethos. We are confident that approval will be given by the Regional Commissioner in Spring 2023, with conversion completed for October 2023.

Our children are excited about coming to school. They feel part of our learning community. Everyone is valued, respected and cared for. We are committed to meeting the individual needs of each child. We work in close partnership with all of our families. This ensures our children are successful and responsible members of the community. Vital to this partnership is our ‘open door’ policy. Parents and carers feel they can approach the school if they have a query or concern.

At Tollgate Community Junior School we celebrate success, reward achievement and support difficulties. Our pupils are keen and motivated learners. They have a well-developed understanding of the world and their role within it. Our curriculum is broad, balanced and enriching. We make the most of first-hand learning opportunities.

We hope that this website gives you a flavour of what life is like at Tollgate. We would like to welcome you to our school to experience for yourself the unique ethos and opportunities that our children enjoy. We hope that your family will become part our learning community and take advantage of all that we have to offer.

Welcome to our school.

Mr S. Dennis
Headteacher

A warm welcome from the Headteacher

Together Everyone Achieves More

We are all born with an innate capacity to learn. How successful we are can depend on a variety of factors. These can include how we feel about ourselves, if we know how we learn best, how good we are at practising and making links with what we already know. At Tollgate we know that we have children with a tremendous amount of potential. With help from parents we aim to develop this potential.  

If you would like your child to join us at Tollgate, we would love to hear from you. Or you can contact the East Sussex County Council Admissions team for more information.

    Parent KS3 Transition Support / Advice
    Good morning Many parents and children have questions about moving on to secondary school and it is not always easy to find a trusted source of information. Luckily, we have been offered some support from two experienced members of staff from St Catherine’s College – Emma Massey and Joe Gwynne. They will be available for informal chats and to answer questions on Monday afternoons on the front playground at pickup time (3.15-3.30 pm). They are happy to talk to anyone – not just Y6 parents and although they are based at St Catherine’s, both have worked at numerous local secondary schools so may be able to help with both general and school specific queries (Ratton/Eastbourne Academy etc.). So that you know who to look for, here are their photographs. They are going to position themselves next to the Office door. They are very friendly, so please do take the opportunity to go and chat. Kind regards Mr Walsh

    Glurbs
    Dear parents/carers, We work with a company called Language Angels who provide a scheme to support our teaching and learning of French. They have developed an app called 'Glurbs' which can be used at home to further support language learning in a fun and interactive way. Please find attached a flyer giving you further details. If you have any trouble using the QR code, you can easily search for 'Glurbs' in your app store or browser. You will need to sign up using an email address. Don't forget to also check out Duolingo, which I know a lot of children already use at home for fun language learning. Best wishes, Mrs Wilson

    Monday Morning after the Euros
    Good afternoon, As I'm sure you are aware, England have amazingly got to the finals of the Euros! As the match is not scheduled to finish until just before 10.00 pm on Sunday (and even later if it goes to extra time/penalties), we are keeping registers open on Monday morning until 10.00 am. We will still be open at the normal time...we just won't be giving 'late' marks until after 10.00 am, in case your child has had a late night...hope this helps!
