Prince of Wales Primary School

[EduCativ]

Prince of Wales Primary School opened in 1950 and is situated in Enfield Lock, North East of the London Borough of Enfield. We are a full 3-form entry school and at our current capacity can accommodate 660 pupils. Our Early Learners Day Care caters to 68 full-time children from 3 months to 5 years old and through the externally run Children’s Centre extensive family support services are delivered by external agencies
We benefit from the cultural diversity within our continuously changing local and wider community and have established rich partnerships which support our children’s development and broaden their experiences. We are an inclusive school that has high aspirations for all our children’s achievements regardless of their learning abilities, background, or prior education. Our pupils are taught and coached to be resilient to the many challenges in their lives overall they are well motivated and ambitious.
The Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum is implemented throughout the Early Learners, Nursery, and Reception, after which the National Curriculum is followed. All children are encouraged to achieve their very best through a wide range of positive behavior strategies.
We recognize the need for a nurturing approach for pupils and adults alike. In the school, our year groups work together and are led by Achievement Leaders who are members of the School Leadership Team.
Our values-led education has its focus on English and mathematics skills which are strengthened by a cross-curricular approach. We focus on a monthly Value and immerse ourselves in that value what it means and understanding how we can all practically live by it. School Values have included Attitude, Cooperation, Thoughtfulness, Gratitude, Honesty, Enthusiasm, Responsibility, Compassion, and Peace. Each week we celebrate the successes of children who have demonstrated the values and they are presented with a baton which they take home and pass on the following week to the next role model in their class.
We believe it is important that children gain leadership skills and we nurture this in several ways, for example by enabling them to be team captains, take part in the School Parliament, or be elected as a Prefect, Head Girl, or Head Boy.
The school has a long history of successful art projects, working with artists and talented parents as well as our dedicated and creative staff. Subject Leaders are continually looking at improving pupils’ outcomes and raising standards in their area of responsibility. They learn from best practices in other schools to benefit teaching and learning across the age groups.
Families support us well and all parents are expected to take an active part in their children’s development and education. We have exciting opportunities to promote lifelong learning skills for pupils and parents through study support activities and extended school facilities. We hold regular workshops to enable our parents to support their children in maths and English skills. The is also a range of adult learning that takes place in our Community Room. In the Children’s Centre, Health Visitors facilitate baby well-being, postnatal and antenatal sessions, parenting workshops, employability support, and a school readiness program. There are also opportunities from outreach services to support more vulnerable families with parenting and accessing further help.
