School Background:

Tavistock Public School is located approximately 20 kilometres north of Woodstock in the village of Tavistock. There are 402 students ranging from JK to Grade 8. We have a talented and dedicated staff of 35 people working in a modern and well equipped facility. The school is an integral part of a caring and involved community a with strong set of positive values shared by our students and staff. Our enthusiastic staff, in conjunction with our strong school council and our extensive network of parent volunteers, are able to offer a wide variety of programs and activities that support and enhance an environment that promotes student achievement and well being.

Measures of Student Achievement and Success:

At Thames Valley, we believe that regular and ongoing assessment and evaluation of student achievement are critical parts of the learning process. Information gathered through assessment and evaluation helps teachers to determine students' strengths and needs in their achievement of the curriculum expectations. It also serves to guide teachers in diversifying instructional approaches to students' needs and in assessing the overall effectiveness of programs and classroom practices. A variety of methods are used to gauge student progress including teacher observation, meaningful classroom conversations, and student products.
