Head teacher’S WELCOME Welcome to Crayford Temple Grove (CTG), the primary phase of Haberdashers’ Aske’s Crayford Academy. CTG started as a one form entry primary on the Crayford site back in 2009. Since then we have grown and opened a second campus on the old Slade Green Junior site. The school has grown into a very successful primary that has given the opportunity for more children in Bexley and Kent to receive a Haberdashers’ Aske’s Education. Although we have two campuses we are a single primary school with a philosophy of ensuring that children receive the same exemplary education whichever class or campus they are in. The CTG curriculum has a strong focus on the core areas of learning: reading, writing and mathematics, and is dedicated to ensuring all our children are 100% ready for secondary education when they leave us in Year 6.
The quality of teaching and learning for our children is outstanding, ensuring our children are reaching their potential. At the back of the prospectus you can read about our Temple Grove sponsors who give us an annual bursary to enrich the learning experience of our children. We use this money in a number of different ways to give our children learning experiences they may not get at other schools. These experiences include a highly subsidised residential trip in year 6, music lessons, after school clubs run by professional coaches, at least three trips a year, allowing out of the classroom learning. All these allow our children to experience a rich and diverse curriculum. In September 2016, we extended our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provision to include two year olds. We are passionate about providing the children in our community with knowledge, skills and understanding at all stages of their primary years. As a popular school with a very high number of applicants each year into our three reception classes, we pride ourselves in offering a high quality co-educational education to the children from the community we are situated in.
