THE VALLEY PROJECT
The North East Valley Community Development Project is run from two prefabricated buildings on the western boundary of the school. The school’s Board of Trustees own these buildings. This project is a partner with the school and aims to improve the lives of people living in the Valley, particularly children and families. Visit their website for more information https://www.northeastvalley.org/
SCHOOL LIBRARY
North East Valley Normal School has a spacious, warm library with a selction of both fiction and non-fiction books. Classes have at least one library session timetabled each week. The library is usually open Monday and Wednesday lunchtimes with a teacher in attendance. Year 6 library assistants are appointed each year.
Children are encouraged to use the library at available lunchtimes to change books, have a quiet read, or – when organised – watch a video during wet weather or in winter.
THE NEV COMMUNITY GARDEN
On our top field you will find the NEV Community Garden. We are partners with this community group and our children spend time in the garden. Enquiries can be emailed to garden@nev.org
ENGLISH SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES – ESOL
Our school has children from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. These children bring many attributes to our school, and we welcome them.
Many of them do not speak English as their first language, and the school provides additional in-school support for them. This is dependent on the number of ESOL children enrolled at any one time.
