I am going to compare my chosen provider donkey infant school to Guiseley infants.
This school provides high levels of care and a secure environment in which children gain confidence and can learn. Guiseley infant’s school provides many different services to their students like: before school, after school and holiday. During the school holidays and the weekend’s Guiseley infant school provide booster classes. These classes are for students that need help or need to catch up on work. It is mostly run by teachers at the school. The teachers give the students extra work to do at home so they can bring it back in the next booster class. These classes are run on Saturdays and on public holidays. It is usually between 9:00 am till 12:00 pm. These classes are not paid for because the teachers are prepared to give up their own time and teach for free. The school provides primary services which are at school hours. The school staffs usually do this but sometimes the school might hire to do a special session. The school also provides many types of speech therapy. Every week a speech therapist comes into school and teaches the special need children speech therapist. The speech therapist teaches the children sign language or using a communication device. This service is normally run on Thursdays and Fridays on their first period. The school pays for these services from there beget which is given by the education Leeds. The school also provides school dinner to the students. The dinner staffs make the food for the children and they serve them. The dinners have to be paid. Most of the students pay for their school meals but some students have free school meal. This is because their family gets income support or etc. all of these services are provided at the school. The school also provides social care services. If the school believes that there is a problem with the students family or he or she is living, family brake up and child abuse etc. Then school may contact the social services. Where as donkey infant school provide some of the above services but also some different services. Some of the services provided by Guiseley infants are not provided by donkey infants. Some of the same services provided by each school are nursery. This is for students 3 to 5 years old. Both schools have to follow education curriculum. This means that both schools have to teach maths, English and the compulsory subjects etc. both school have different aim. This is because they have different students with different abilities. They both provide lollypop many. This is for the safety of the children crossing the road. Both schools also have their own field. The field is used to do out door activity. Both school used the field for special occasions like sports day. Both schools also provide dinner for all the students and parents pay for the dinner. Some students at both schools receive free school meals. Both schools are also found under the public sector and are paid by the relevant government. Both schools also provide non educational and educational trips. Trips can be museums or a them park. These services are paid by the schools but the schools have to contribute and pay a small fee for the trips. Both schools provide social care services. If the school believes that there is a problem with the students family or he or she is living, family brake up and child abuse etc. Then school may contact the social services. Then there are services that donkey infants don't provide like speech therapy and public holiday booster classes. Guiseley infants also don't provide after school football club, etc. this means that the school are nearly the same but with a few differences.
Most the students that attend Guiseley infants are from the same background. Most the students from donkey infant’s school are from the same background. Both schools are also mixed race and gender. Which means any students aged 3 to 11 can attend the school. Both schools go up to year 6.
