The TES are telling us that one in five teachers would welcome a return to the cane. Not here at Staveley School!. This is a happy place where children are loved by teachers and our discpline is based on trust and respect. We have no wish to use violence to make our point - our children know the value of a withering look of disappointment!
A busy few weeks ahead with many trips taking place. Today all of the KS2 are visiting the parish church in Kendal for a day of storytelling on the theme of Harvest. Later in the week Y3 visit Birdoswald on the Roman wall for a one night residential learning about the Roman occupation. Next week Y6 head off to York on their residential week. Living in such a rural location, we feel it is essential to take the children to other places as often as possible.
