School:  Bader Primary School


Address:  Kintyre Drive, Thornaby


Headteacher:  Simon Feasey


What are your school aims/policies?  Bader Primary school is a school that is determined to cause learning for every single one of its learners. Our school is made up of a community of learners; learners who collaborate to ensure that learning is social, engaging and real. Our teachers are committed to designing learning, seeing learning through the eyes of our pupils and helping them to become their own teachers.


What were you rated in your last Ofsted?  Good in all areas


Do you have a school council? If so, what are they currently working on? We have an elected school parliament, made up of our Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, six ministers (culture, sport, learning, community, environment, charity) + four junior ministers. Our parliament sits on a weekly basis. Mr Feasey and Miss Cant are joint-speaker of the House. We run our parliament in a way that helps us better understand democracy and the rule of law. Members, for example, put Bills before the House, to be debated, if looking for change of practice in school.


What after school clubs do you run?  Gymnastics, golf, cross country, netball, football, multi-skills, dance, performing arts, lego-scratch, craft club, homework club


Tell us something we didn’t know about your school?  Pupils in our school learn Latin. Latin is often considered to be a language which lacks relevance to the modern world, however nothing could be further from the truth. Two thirds of English vocabulary has roots in ancient Latin or ancient Greek.
