Letter to Candidates
Thank you for your interest in the position of Parent Liaison Manager for Langley

Langley, Berkshire is within Slough unitary authority and there is an established
need for more primary school places for September 2012 in this area.
The Slough Borough Council document ‘Primary Strategy for Change (March
2009) states that ‘The increasing birth numbers in Slough mean that the provision
of school places offered in some areas will also be increased ... since 2001/2007
births have increased by 31.7% ... the difference between the projected demand
in September 2010 and availability is 155. The following year (2011) this shortfall
of places is expected to rise to 342 places”.
Overview of Aims, Ethos and Vision
The school’s motto ‘Ad Vitam Paramus’ means ‘We are Preparing for Life’ and, in
this simple statement, the school’s aims, ethos and vision are encapsulated. All
activities are judged against this motto and staff, parents and children are able to
evaluate the school’s effectiveness by how well it is preparing children for the life
ahead of them.
The school’s strong commitment to teaching basic numeracy and literacy skills is
equalled by its commitment to creative learning and personal, social and
emotional development. Indeed the development of the whole child is central to
the school’s philosophy and every member of staff will be firmly committed to
ensuring that:
“Every child succeeds in life to the best of their ability and contributes positively
to the creation of a decent and flourishing society” (Whole Education Organisation).
From the moment a child enters the school we want them to feel excited and
motivated by the educational opportunities presented to them and to be inspired
and encouraged to take control of their learning. This is more than rhetoric; the
environment, the activities and the resources are carefully planned to ensure that
this happens.
