Cannon Lane Primary School

[EduCativ]

Cannon Lane is a large all-through primary school with an annual intake of 120 children. As part of an ambitious expansion program, the school has benefitted from a significant financial investment that has provided us with new, state-of-the-art facilities for our children to enjoy. Cannon Lane is a successful school with a very good reputation in the local community. Our aim is for children to be happy, safe, and successful and to enjoy their time in school. We are very pleased to have been awarded the ’Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM)’ Flagship status in recognition of our commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for all children. We have high expectations of ourselves and the children we teach. All staff and pupils play a key role in achieving these aims by treating one another with respect and by sharing and celebrating success.

We aim to excel, not only in the core curriculum but also through other areas such as music, sport, and the arts. We look to provide a holistic education that is grounded in moral, social, and spiritual values. Our aim is for all children (and adults) at Cannon Lane Primary School to be happy, safe, and successful.

We aim to excel – not only in the core curriculum but also through other areas such as music, sport, and the arts. We look to provide a holistic education that is grounded in moral, social, and spiritual values. Above all, we want our pupils to enjoy their days at school and to learn through co-operation, challenge and discovery.

Our school assemblies are values-driven. They are wide-ranging and include the promotion of excellence, respect, responsibility, co-operation, kindness, and resilience. In addition to this, children are taught what it means to be part of British society. We celebrate our cultural diversity, democracy, and individual liberty.

At Cannon Lane Primary School we help each child to achieve their very best. We aim to create a positive and secure environment in which children can be happy, safe, and successful. We place great emphasis on mutual respect and consideration for others. We encourage children to be reflective, resilient, responsible, and resourceful learners.

We provide a curriculum that is broad and balanced and one that is relevant and interesting for the children. We believe that children should be inspired by what they are learning and understand how and why this is relevant to them and their lives in the future.

At Cannon Lane School, our curriculum is designed to:

• Challenge all children
• Encourage children to ask questions and to develop higher-order thinking skills
