At Menston Primary we support the UK STEM vision (see links at bottom of page) by:

Raising, even further, the engagement and enjoyment of our children in these subjects.
Finding innovative ways to incorporate technology across the curriculum.
Empowering children to support each other in learning to use different digital technologies in their learning, for example, through the Digital Leaders Scheme.
Enabling children to begin to see how the skills and knowledge they gain in one STEM subject can be transferred to another.
Increasing our engagement with industry based STEM partners.
Providing careers awareness activities for all our children to help them begin to be aware of future career opportunities.

Announcements

In line with the government directive, as of Monday 23rd March until further notice, Menston Primary School will be open as a childcare facility to our school’s key worker children and children that fall into the vulnerable category for those times when they cannot be safely cared for at home. Department for Education advice is that if it is at all possible for children to be at home then they should be. For any children registered for childcare, please report all absences to the school office before 9am. We have a 24 hour absence line 01943 873180 where you can leave a message to let us know what the reason for absence is. You must not send any children in if they are displaying the symptoms of Covid-19 which include a new, persistent cough and/ or a high temperature. If your child has sickness or diarrhoea they must be kept off school for 48 hours after the last bout of illness.
