Stirchley Primary School is a happy and caring place where we have high expectations of all our children and staff. We provide a secure and stimulating environment in which children can develop to their full potential. We believe that every child has a right to quality education and that this is more easily achieved when parents and schools work together in partnership. A values-based school seeks to promote an educational philosophy based on valuing self, others, and the environment through the consideration of an ethical values vocabulary (principles that guide behavior), as the basis of good educational practice. It encourages adults to model values and to give time for reflective practices that empower individuals to be effective learners and good citizens. Within school, pupils are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As a school, we educate and provide boundaries for young pupils to make choices safely, through the provision of a safe environment and empowering education. Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms safely, for example through our E-Safety and PHSE lessons, friendship decisions, and extra-curricular preferences. Part of our ethos and behavior policy has revolved around Core Values such as ‘Respect’, and pupils take part in discussions in assemblies related to what this means and how it is shown. All members of the school community are encouraged to show each other respect. Posters around the school promote respect for others and this is reiterated through our classroom and learning rules, as well as our behavior policy. At Stirchley, we place great emphasis on preparing children for life in the modern world. We aim to equip them with both the personal, social and academic skills to enable them to be happy, fulfilled, and confident members of society who can reach their full potential. To achieve this we teach a subject-based curriculum where key skills and 2014 revised National Curriculum programs of study are taught side by side to provide a broad and balanced curriculum for our children. At Stirchley, foundation subjects are taught discretely to ensure that our children are receiving broad and equal coverage of each subject area. Often these subjects are broken down into separate topics to provide a context for our learners. Teachers at Stirchley Primary School endeavor to teach in a creative and stimulating way to provide our children with interesting and memorable learning experiences. We take the children on regular educational visits to provide inspiring and varied learning opportunities and we regularly invite visitors into school to offer insight from a different perspective.

We are a two-form entry community primary school maintained by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. We have a Foundation Stage and admit children from three to eleven years old. We look forward to welcoming you and your children to our happy, successful, vibrant, and caring school. We see parents/carers as partners in the education of their children, and greatly value their contribution to school life. Children thrive when they feel happy, safe, and respected, and when they are set for challenging and stimulating work. We are committed to lifelong learning and have a thriving learning center for parents and the local community on site. We aim to: Develop a friendly, supportive, and forward-looking school that inspires everyone to achieve their best and make positive contributions. Deliver a rich, creative, and stimulating curriculum to raise the attainment of all children. Encourage and promote independence, self-discipline, and excellent standards of teaching and learning. Build an inclusive school community whereby all parents, children, and staff feel safe, proud, respected, and valued. As part of the curriculum, we have specialist teachers for Art and Music, who provide excellent art and music learning opportunities. We enrich our curriculum with theatre companies who come to provide drama and music workshops covering many of our topics. Children also have opportunities for off-site learning through visits to places of interest and learning, which are linked to topics. Year 6 also has the opportunity to stay in Kent for a week-long residential trip, where they learn through field experiments and outdoor learning. In our school, we recently introduced an amazing new scheme called JIGSAW. JIGSAW brings together PSHE Education, emotional literacy, social skills, and spiritual development in a comprehensive scheme of learning. Teaching strategies are varied and are mindful of preferred learning styles and the need for differentiation. Jigsaw is designed as a whole school approach, with all year groups working on the same theme (Puzzle) at the same time. This enables each theme to start with an introductory assembly, generating a whole school focus for adults and children alike. The whole scheme is designed with six themes (Puzzles) for six half terms. All themes include the use of The Jigsaw Circle. The Jigsaw Circle is a tried and tested teaching approach, popularised most successfully in recent years by Jenny Mosley. It brings children and adults together to feel equal and valued so that they can share ideas, thoughts, and feelings. The aims of learning French at Stewart Headlam are to foster an interest in learning another language and to make it fun, to make children aware that language has structure and that the structure differs from one language to another, and finally to lay the foundations for future study.

Stepney Greencoat School was founded in 1710 by leading community members from the Hamlet of Ratcliff, to educate 110 local children. It has developed and grown with the area over the last three centuries, meeting the needs of the community as it transformed from an industrial dockyard to the socially mixed, multicultural settlement that it is today. The school is proud of its rich history and looking forward to forging ahead into the future whilst continuing to play a vital role in local life for centuries to come. Stepney Greencoat is a small and welcoming Church of England Primary School in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. We are a good school and are committed to improving further with a clear focus on maximizing the achievement and progress of each child. With so many larger primary schools within Tower Hamlets, we feel blessed to be a one-form entry school. Our smaller size means that everyone in the school knows everyone else. This means that our pupils feel safe, happy, and special. In consultation with our children, governors, parents, and carers, and staff we have put together the following vision, ethos, and values for the next few years for our School. In as few words as possible, we have tried to come up with a statement that best captures what we are trying to do at Stepney Greencoat. Here it is: Helping children to flourish in a safe, diverse, and inclusive Christian environment. To explain this vision statement a little more and to put some markers down as to what each phrase means, we have a few paragraphs below on our distinctive and characteristics as a school. We are: “Helping children to flourish.” Here at Stepney Greencoat School, we believe each child is an individual with their special talents. We will strive to enable them individually and together to realize their full potential and to make school a happy experience for them. To this end, we aim to provide a high level of teaching, partner with parents and carers, and provide an education that is ‘more than SATS’. We are entrusted with children and work hard to keep them safe and secure. We delight in being part of a diverse community in Tower Hamlets, which also sadly includes high levels of child poverty and deprivation. We are glad to have children with a range of abilities and from a variety of ethnic, religious, and family backgrounds. We work hard to involve everyone in the whole life of the School because all people are made in God’s image and worthy of respect and honor. The School was founded over 300 years ago out of strong Christian convictions. We are keen to maintain this basis. From this flows our desire for all our children to grow, flourish and be safe while they are with us. We are keen that Christian teaching on love, forgiveness, hard work, and justice are embedded in the School, as we follow the God who is loving and just. We have a diverse school community of pupils, families, staff, and governors and we learn and work in partnership together to ensure that all children flourish at our school. We are extremely proud of the confident, courteous, and well-mannered children we have at Stepney Greencoat. We challenge our children to bring out the best in themselves, to respect and value each other, and to take pleasure from the success of others whilst offering support to those who may need it.

We are a family of schools in Cambridge, Madingley and Saffron Walden educating boys and girls aged 1 to 18. Founded in 1881, our history is part of Cambridge’s rich academic past. Today, our vision and learning toolkit is firmly focused on the future, as we prepare young people for life in an ever-changing, global and digital world. By recognizing our pupils as individuals - with unique hopes, talents, and ambitions - we unlock their true potential. We enjoy learning for its own sake. Our teachers ignite curiosity, encourage critical thinking and creativity. By learning to think for themselves our pupils go on to achieve outstanding results. But for us, education is not just about grades. It is about the strength of character, a sense of social responsibility, learning to innovate, communicate and collaborate. Education needs to prepare youngsters for life beyond tests, exams, and certificates. Our pupils gain an exceptional skill-set, one that prepares them for life in tomorrow's world. They leave us ready to make their mark and achieve their dreams. Dr. Stephen Perse was a man of vision who, back in the 17th century, believed that education should be a right rather than a privilege, accessible to those with ability rather than dependent on income. Dr. Perse, a fellow of Gonville and Caius College at the University of Cambridge died in 1615 and his Will included a bequest of land for the establishment of a 'Grammar Free School'. Panton HouseThe land became The Perse School, originally reserved for boys, but in 1881 the Perse School for Girls opened as part of the 19th-century movement to educate women. From the Perse School for Girls, we have evolved to become the Stephen Perse Foundation. In more recent years we have grown, and we now provide a complete educational pathway for boys and girls from age 1 to 18. Our co-educational Sixth Form College opened in 2008 and our Pre-Prep welcomed girls and boys to Madingley in 2010. In 2013, the Sunday Times named us the IB School of the Year for the second time. We also expanded our family of schools by merging with Dame Bradbury's School in Saffron Walden. Girls and boys in Rosedale HouseRosedale House welcomed boys for the first time in September 2014, and our Senior School followed in September 2017, establishing our innovative diamond model and allowing us to offer boys the same access to our excellent education as girls. In 2014, we won the coveted title of Independent School of the Year for "reinventing the school and creating a community of learners fit for the 21st century". In 2018, we welcomed Cambridge Centre for Sixth-form Studies (CCSS) to the Foundation's family of schools, a college similar in size to our Sixth Form with a shared vision and values for education. This also enabled us to offer boarding across our whole sixth form offering, starting from September 2019. We have a clear vision for the future of education. As an Apple Distinguished School, we are now leading the digital learning revolution, with our pupils using iPads as virtual satchels and unlocking new ways to learn and collaborate. Dynamic and inspiring learning spaces are an important piece of our toolkit. We make use of Cambridge as our campus and enjoy first-class facilities within our schools.

Our curriculum is designed to link subjects in such a way as to maximize the learning potential of every lesson and develop the children's understanding in as broad a context as possible. At Stechford Primary School the curriculum subjects support each other to allow each child to achieve their full potential. Stechford School we are committed to providing a broad and balanced curriculum. As part of this ethos, we believe that children should be taught the values and standards which will ensure our pupils become happy and productive citizens. We believe that these skills equip children for a safe and successful life. At Stechford School, as with a great number of Birmingham schools, we follow the Birmingham Agreed Syllabus. The curriculum was designed with input from all the represented religions in the area and it is designed to meet all statutory requirements. While it is extremely rare, it is the right of parents to withdraw their children from R.E. and related activities. The School procedure is that any parent wishing to withdraw their child from any activity should in the first instance contact the class teacher. The request may then be passed on to a member of the Senior Leadership Team as appropriate. At Stechford Primary School we value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of our staff, our pupils, and their families. We learn about British Values through a variety of events and our curriculum includes lessons, assemblies, and performances to celebrate these. We have found this approach to be enriching for all parties as it teaches tolerance and respect for the differences in our community and the wider world. We know that the components of British Values are not exclusively “British” and are held dear by other nationalities, schools must keep children safe and prepare them for life in modern Britain. At Stechford Primary School we take our responsibility to promote 'British Values' as integral to all our practice. We also recognize that the values we represent and teach are common to many communities and groups. We wish to equip our children to be productive and content members of society, to this end, Stechford Primary School has produced the Skills And Values Education curriculum (S.A.V.E.). Through our weekly SAVE lessons, we promote the values and responsibilities of being a good citizen and provide the children with valuable life skills which will allow them to be healthy, happy and feel as though they are a valued citizen. At Stechford Primary School, we are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity for all pupils, staff, parents, and carers irrespective of race, gender, disability, belief, sexual orientation, age, or socio-economic background. We aim to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity in which all those connected to the school feel proud of their identity and ability to participate fully in school life. We provide all our pupils with the opportunity to succeed and to reach the highest level of personal achievement. We do this by: Ensuring equality of access for all pupils and preparing them for life in a diverse society. Using materials that reflect the diversity of the school, population, and local community without stereotyping. Promoting attitudes and values that challenge any discriminatory behavior or prejudice. Providing opportunities for pupils to appreciate their own culture and celebrate the diversity of other cultures. Seeking to involve all parents in supporting their child’s education. Utilizing teaching approaches appropriate for the whole school population which is inclusive and reflective of our pupils. View full school
