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.

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!

PE kit update for September

Good afternoon We would like to update you about P.E kits for September and moving forwards. Sadly, due to decreasing budgets and financial constraints on schools, we are not able to continue funding the FREE P.E kit. With this in mind, our expectation for the children to continue wearing the school P.E kit remains the same, as we feel the high standard of dress works really well, however a slight change to where you purchase the items can now be made by yourselves. You have the choice to either purchase the branded hoodie, t-shirt and shorts from the MAPAC website OR you can buy an equivalent non-branded plain royal blue hoodie, crew neck white t-shirt and blue PE shorts from an alternative outlet. https://www.mapac.com/education/parents/uniform/tollgatecommunityjuniorschoolbn236nl We fully understand the financial pressures on families in the current climate and we appreciate your support with this matter. Kind regards Mr Dennis

SRE- Information

Dear Parents and Carers, You may be aware that just before the election was called, there was a statement issued by the government concerning the teaching of Sex Education in schools. Whilst this is only a consultation exercise, I thought I would re-assure you that we have reviewed the teaching of Sex and Relationship Education at Tollgate . We are confident that there are no changes required , as the aspects the government are consulting on have not been part of the curriculum here. I have attached a copy of the PSHE (including Sex and Relationship Education) progression document that is also available on the school website. I have also attached some information detailing the points raised in the government statement. I have asked each year group to send a separate PING to parents and carers detailing what is being taught, together with an invitation to come and see the resources that will be used in lessons. Parents and carers have the right to withdraw their child from Sex Education lessons, but not from the biology aspects that are covered within the Science curriculum (naming of body parts, changes to bodies etc). If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your child's class teacher in the first instance who is best place to explain more if you would find this helpful. Kind regards, Stephen Dennis Headteacher
