TARDIS

(Tarleton and Rural District Schools)

Bretherton Endowed CE Primary School is proud to be a member of the TARDiS cluster of schools.

The TARDiS family, spearheaded by a Headteachers’ network, collaborate on strategic improvement aims for the benefit of our pupils.

Through mutual support and by encouraging challenge, in an ethos of trust and partnership, we strengthen the work we do and improve outcomes for our children.

The cluster works to enhance opportunities for local children in a variety of ways, which include:

Sharing good practice across our family of schools and focusing of local issues/priorities.
Organising a programme of enrichment activities throughout the year which offer challenge, develop confidence and celebrate achievements across the broader curriculum (for example, STEM days, Spelling Bees, Performing Arts Festivals, Public Speaking events etc).
Through our subcommittee, TASA (the TARDiS Active Schools Alliance), organise a comprehensive range of opportunities for children to take part in competitive and non-competitive physical activity – increasing participation and promoting health & fitness.
Through our sub committee 'Enrich' we seek to offer high quaity enrichment and this year we are developing the role of 'Reporters' within the cluster, offering Spelling Bee, Sports Quizes for children to lead and overall opportunities to perform.
Through the sub committee of 'Develop' we seek to provide high quality national and local professional development that ensures that all our staff are prepared well for their role and that our educational expertise is strengthened.
