Four Dwellings Primary Academy

[EduCativ]

Four Dwellings Primary Academy is a 2 form entry primary school, in the heart of Quinton, Birmingham with 454 pupils on roll. Pupils from 3yrs to 11yrs come here to learn, explore, investigate, discover, build aspirations, question, and solve problems through an engaging and challenging curriculum and school life. At Four Dwellings Primary Academy, we have our ‘4D’s’ which are our fundamental principles and run through all areas of school life.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children. We teach our children how to keep themselves safe in school, outside school, and within the ever-changing world of technology. We work to provide an environment where children feel safe. We ensure that the children know that there are adults in our academy that they can talk to with any concerns or difficulties and their concerns will be taken seriously and acted upon as appropriate.
We are committed to working in partnership with our parents and carers and our wider community. We work in school and with our parents to always have the best interests of our children at our heart. We work to maintain an open and respectful dialogue with our parents, carers, and other partners to benefit the children. Our community room is open daily to encourage parents and members of our local community to come and work with us in supporting our children. We also work to develop the 'school within the community and work with our partners in the Academies Enterprise Trust cluster and other Local Authority partners and businesses to achieve our aims.
Building trust, working together, and keeping our vision for the school and our children is always at the forefront of our planning, discussions, and decision making. We are here for our children it is our responsibility to do our best for them, to care for their needs, and to support our parents and carers in the enormous and exciting task of raising young people in an ever more complex and global society. We know we have a privileged place in that process and our promise to our parents, children, and other stakeholders are that we will do our best for each child and use our resources wisely to achieve our goals.
At Four Dwellings Primary Academy, we are committed to delivering a complete and cohesive curriculum that allows for opportunities to use and apply various skills and a variety of contexts thereby deepening and evolving pupil’s understanding over time. We believe that a primary curriculum should be broad and balanced, and should allow the pupils to experience a wide range of activities.
We have achieved this by creating a thorough Curriculum document that promotes links between subjects and has trips and experiences built into it. Curriculum content is taken from the new National Curriculum in England 2014 document. English and Maths are taught with a focussed approach in discrete lessons and then these key skills are then applied within other contexts when teaching the Foundation Curriculum. Our Religious Education Curriculum is taken from the Birmingham Agreed Syllabus for RE.
