Lancasterian Primary School

[EduCativ]

Lancasterian Primary School is a safe and welcoming learning community where we all aim high, everyone is included and creativity is valued. We provide as we persistently seek to find new ways to enhance and improve our offer to the children and the local community. Here at Lancs, we embrace the future with a strong sense of optimism as we continue to develop our children’s love of learning and consolidate improvements in many of our end-of-key-stage results over the last two years. We have recently dramatically improved our approaches to the teaching of reading, writing, maths, science, and the foundation subjects, and will embed and further develop the curriculum over the coming years in response to pupils’ needs and the wider educational landscape.

Our ‘growth mindset’ approach – the idea that ability is not fixed but rather something that can be increased through effort – remains central to teaching and learning at Lancasterian Primary. Our approach to education is built on the foundation of the following six beliefs:

• We remember that intelligence is something that we can grow.
• We don’t say, ‘I can’t do this we say, ‘I can’t do this yet.
• We recognize that effort is more important than results.
• We learn new things as often as we can.
• We are not scared of mistakes or failure because we can learn from them.
• We take risks to improve our learning.

The fantastic recent improvement in the education we offer to our children is down to the hard work of staff and volunteers at the school, the support of parents and carers and – not least of all – the amazing effort put in by the children themselves. As a result of this and other factors, we currently self-evaluate the school as ‘good’. Additionally, we continue to work towards our three ambitious ‘three-year goals’ for the school:

• Be a place of learning where all children and adults have the opportunity to thrive and excel
• Have an end of key stage results which are at or above national average and
• Self-evaluate as outstanding - a place where others come to learn from best practice.

We will make a fairer society. A society where everyone can reach the top of the mountain because all of us understand that achieving ambitions includes learning from mistakes. A society where everyone has the skills and knowledge to open any door because all of us break down barriers to opportunity. A society where everyone improves the world we share because all of us seek creative solutions to the issues we face together.

To do this, we will make the best school:

• A school where every child embraces learning as a demanding lifelong journey because all of us show them how to love challenge and growth.
• A school where every child feels proud of who they are and their uniqueness because all of us celebrate difference.
• A school where every child leaves the gate with fond memories, a creative outlook, and a sense of excitement for the road ahead because all of us have put them at the center of everything we do.
