ARK Priory Primary Academy

[EduCativ]

Our mission to ensure that all children can attend university or pursue a career of their choice is incredibly important and something that we keep at the forefront of our minds every day, through our academy values – today we lay the foundations for tomorrow’s success. Staff, children, and you, the parents, have a role in this, ensuring that your children meet their full potential and become fully engaged, responsible, and thinking citizens. We expect that everyone is focused on achieving the best possible outcome for your child – for them to excel in every aspect! That starts with everyone’s commitment to the academy, to be an active part of the academy community, to commit to the expectations the academy sets for engagement, behavior, dress, and attendance because these are the very building blocks of your child’s future success.

ARK Schools stand for:

• High expectations
• Exemplary behavior
• Excellent teaching
• More time for learning
• Depth before breadth
• Knowing every child

Our children arrive at ARK Priory at an early stage in their development and experience i.e., with their whole lives ahead of them. It is our responsibility to encourage, develop and inspire them to achieve early successes that are maintained in Secondary School, University, and beyond. Our values help us to achieve this.

• Exploration - We encourage all pupils to push and develop themselves through new experiences. Once we develop courage, independence, and curiosity we embrace the unknown and seek answers.
• Endeavor - Hard work and self-improvement are required to reach your goals and the sense of satisfaction and reward that follows endeavor requires courage and risk-taking – effort and progress are recognized more than just outcomes.
• Excellence - The culmination of exploration and endeavor – be courageous, challenge yourself, try your best and you will achieve excellence.

Ark Priory Primary Academy has at its core the pursuit of the highest standards possible in education. We believe in high aspirations, high challenges, and high achievement for all. Through our extended curriculum and community life, we seek to meet the needs of the whole child. Our motto, Courage to fly! is at our core. If children are confident and willing to take risks to improve, to learn new things, and to embrace new experiences they will be resilient and equipped to deal with life and to be both successful and happy. We are committed to playing our role in helping our children play their full part in society. We will do whatever it takes to provide our children with the determination, skills, and knowledge to attend university or to follow an appropriate career path of their choice.

We believe in the potential of every child who joins ARK Priory Primary Academy and we will strive to create a positive learning environment in which our pupils:

• Develop enthusiastic and enquiring minds
• Question and present rational arguments
• Adopt an independent, positive and engaged approach to learning
• Challenge themselves and others to achieve excellence

We will provide high-quality learning and teaching experiences that take into account the intellectual, social, physical, ethical, and spiritual development of our pupils.
