Culloden Primary - A Paradigm Academy

[EduCativ]

Every child is entitled to a good education, with equal access to knowledge, skills, opportunities, aspirations, life chances, and dignity. Your child deserves the best from this school and we seek to provide this in many ways, the most important of which are a well-planned and well-taught curriculum, using the Culloden way of learning, in an environment where the safety and well-being of our pupils are paramount. However, teachers and school staff cannot do this on their own. When a school community works on this together excellent results can be achieved. This includes parents and/or carers supporting their children at home by encouraging learning, good conduct, and high expectations. With this community effort, you can see your children reach their full potential.
Parents play a really important part in the life of our school. They play a particularly important part in their own children’s learning. We encourage parents/carers to come to school, at every opportunity.
We encourage parents/carers to help in classrooms, to be available or to go on school trips, and to come into assemblies but the first thing we ask them to do is to get their children to come to school on time and ready to learn.
We are an inclusive school, which means that we feel that every child should be able to participate in every aspect of school life with a sense of belonging and a sense of being valued.
Our community is working towards a society in which there are a common vision and sense of belonging by all. The diversity of all pupils’ and adults’ backgrounds and circumstances should be appreciated and valued. We are committed to developing strong and positive relationships within our school and the wider community so that similar life opportunities are available to all.
High expectations mean expecting the best and accepting nothing less. High expectations must drive our vision and determine the next steps required. It demands self-awareness and self-belief, perseverance, focus, stamina, keeping the goal in sight while having the flexibility to adapt and find strategies that work. An environment that conveys high expectations motivates individuals and instills within them responsibility for lifelong learning.
Independent learning enables people to lead fulfilling lives within our democratic society. Independent learning is: asking questions taking initiative communicating working collaboratively finding solutions and acting with integrity, commitment and responsibility. It is through independent learning that children and adults give meaning to the world around them and ensure that they have positive choices to make about their lives.
