Park Primary School

[EduCativ]

Park Primary is a large, vibrant primary school in Stratford in East London. We are a two and a half form entry school, growing to a three-form entry, ranging from Reception to Year 6.Our school is part of a multicultural community and we enjoy celebrating this diversity.

At Park, we aim to be the best that we can be. We strive to reach our potential in all areas. Academic, creative, emotional, physical, and social achievements are all valued, as we develop the skills and acquire the knowledge we need as we grow. We believe that when children are confident they maintain a voice, they respectfully speak out ensuring their opinions are heard and they are thereby increasingly instrumental in their learning.

We think that with creativity comes an ability to respond imaginatively and to problem solve resourcefully. Our curriculum emphasizes talk (philosophy, debating, and Talk for Writing), drama, and art but, at Park, creativity is so much more than a focus on the creative arts.

As a learner at Park, you have the right to make progress and learn in a safe and stimulating place. We all accept that with rights come responsibilities everybody who is part of the Park community is responsible for contributing to its continual growth and for safeguarding everyone’s wellbeing (physical and emotional). As a parent at Park, you have the right to expect your child to enjoy their learning and make progress. You also have the right to expect that we will do all we can to ensure your child’s safety and wellbeing. We look forward to working together to ensure that every individual achieves their potential through high expectations for all.

At Park Primary school we believe that learning should be challenging, creative, and fun. We all work hard to ensure that our school is a safe and happy place. We are a school where difference is celebrated and everyone is allowed to shine.

Our School Aims To:

• Strive for excellence in all that we do.
• Provide a curriculum that is rich and varied, where academic achievement and achievement in creative arts are equally celebrated.
• Recognize every child’s talents and needs.
• Encourage a love for learning where each child is given opportunities to be the best that they can be.
• Work in partnership with parents and carers and others.
• Promote a school ethos where each child feels valued, respected, and proud of themselves, their school, and their local community.

We recognize that the personal development of pupils, spiritually, morally, socially, and culturally, plays a significant part in their ability to learn and achieve. We, therefore, aim to provide an education that provides pupils with opportunities to explore and develop their values and beliefs, spiritual awareness, high standards of personal behavior, a positive caring attitude towards other people, an understanding of their social and cultural traditions, and an appreciation of the diversity and richness of other cultures.

As part of our teaching of the Learning Challenge Curriculum, we learn about British and international History, and how some countries are run. We learn about rules in sport/games as part of our PE lessons and have visits from the police and fire brigade to learn about rules in our community.

Park Primary ensures every individual achieves their best through high expectations for all, which focus on confidence, creativity, and care. Through our teaching of PSHE/Citizenship and we develop an understanding of human and children’s rights and responsibilities. A special feature of Park Primary is our decision not to have a compulsory school uniform. We pride ourselves on our commitment to nurturing individuality and believe that children should have a strong sense of self that empowers them with a ‘voice’.

This is an integral aspect of life at Park Primary. We expect our learners to be respectful, confident, and positive individuals. We encourage every child to care about and have respect for, their learning, each other, and our environment. By being socially and emotionally intelligent, understanding about themselves and each other, our children will make the right choices and experience positive relationships now and in the future.
