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 β€˜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.

    Christmas Fayre
    Good afternoon We are so incredibly grateful for all of the amazing donations for our up-coming School Fayre. Please do keep sending them in, especially toys games etc. A reminder that we will also be holding a Cake Sale at the Fayre and would welcome any donations. We are now restricted to only being able to accept donations of shop bought items, due to the large number of allergies, some serious, that children at Tollgate have. Donations need to be unopened in their original packaging, so we can check ingredients. As you are already aware, we are not able to accept any items that have nuts or nut products in them. If you are able to donate anything for the cake sale, please send into school on either Tuesday 10th December or the day of the Fayre, Wednesday 11th December. Again, any donations are very much appreciated. Kind regards Mrs Willgrass

    Christmas Fayre Arrangements πŸŽ„
    Good afternoon As the Fayre gets closer, we wanted to share with you the arrangements for the day: All classes have been invited to attend the Fayre during the afternoon of Wednesday 11th December. They will attend in year groups so that children have greater opportunity to browse, buy, wrap presents in our gift shop and take part in competitions and games. Prices range from 5p up to Β£3. Most stalls will be priced between 20p and Β£1. If you do wish your child to buy items, please send them in with small change/coins (as much as you like!!) Please also be aware that, as well as a gift shop, children's raffle, Teddy Tombola, cakes, second-hand games, toys and books, many of our items are being hand-made by children in Year 4, who have been working hard to develop their entrepreneurial skills! Because Year 4 are hosting the event, we are inviting the parents of Year 4 children only, to come and have a look at their games, competitions and hand-made items between 2:45pm-3:10pm on the day. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to allow children to leave early at 3:10pm, so we ask Year 4 parents to meet their children on the playground as usual. If we have anything left over from the Fayre, we will let you know, with the possibility of setting stalls up at the end of school on alternative days. Many thanks again for all your kind donations and support.

    School Christmas Lunch Booking Form πŸŽ„
    Good afternoon You should have received a Christmas lunch booking form by now, and a huge thank you to those have already returned the form. For those that have not been given one, or have lost theirs, please see the attached. The form needs to be returned by November 22nd as the kitchen have to place the final food order, so we will be unable to book any late returns I'm afraid. Just to confirm we will need the form to be returned whether your child requires a school lunch or will bring their own packed lunch, this way we are sure we have catered for everyone's needs on the day. Thank you for your support with this. Kind regards Mrs Willgrass

    Children's Christmas Fayre πŸŽ„
    Good afternoon We are excited to announce that we will be holding a Christmas Fayre at the end of this term - Wednesday 11th December. This event will be held during the school afternoon, for the children only, so that each class can visit in smaller class and/or year groups, rather than 400 children trying to attend at the same time. In preparation for the event, we would greatly appreciate any donation of items that could be sold in our 'Children's Only Shop'. The aim of the shop is for children to be able to do their own Christmas shopping, for adults at home, and wrap them to bring home. Items such as unopened toiletries, chocolates , gift sets e.t.c would be greatly appreciated (No alcohol please!) We would also request any of the following items, if you have them spare at home that you are happy to donate: Teddy bears that are clean and in good condition for Teddy Tombola Selection packs (sweets or chocolate) Christmas wrapping paper Unwanted children's books/toys (suitable for ages 7-11) that are still in good condition Empty, clean jam jars (with labels removed) Christmas baubles Tinsel Wool or yarn (any colour, but particularly red, green, brown, white, yellow) Cardboard tubes from kitchen rolls Anything that you are able to donate, would be greatly appreciated! Many Thanks! Tollgate Christmas Fayre Team!πŸŽ…
