Audley Primary is an academy and part of the DRB Multi-Academy Trust, situated in Stechford – approximately five miles from Birmingham City Centre. We are currently in the process of expanding from 3 to 4 form entries. There are four classes in each year group and a 60 place part-time Nursery.
Audley Primary School provides a safe and exciting environment in which our children exhibit pride in themselves, their school, and their community. Our children’s achievements in all aspects of life are celebrated and they are taught to aspire to be the very best learners, workers, and members of society. We expect all of our children to contribute to the values which underpin our very foundations: respect, honesty, kindness, generosity, perseverance, politeness, and resilience. Our children care for themselves, each other, and their environment. It is through these values and the support of our whole school community that we ensure enjoyment, happiness, and academic excellence.
Education is a partnership between parents, children, governors, and staff, and each element of this partnership is important. Co-operation between home and school is vital if the children are to develop and achieve success – we look forward to working with you to foster and develop these values and ambitions.
Our teaching and learning are led and promoted through our core values of Respect, Honesty, Kindness, Generosity, Perseverance, Politeness, and Resilience. Through teaching these values we aim to develop co-operation, teamwork, and a positive attitude towards work and learning. We aim to embed these values in all that we do, both in and out of school life. By teaching these alongside being respectful and tolerant of others' faiths and beliefs, we can help all children to contribute positively and help to prepare them for the future.
We aim to offer the children a rich curriculum, including experiences which they will remember for years to come. Our topics are enriched with memorable learning experiences and school visits which give children the opportunity to challenge themselves and deepen their understanding of the world.
At Audley, we have created a New Curriculum which encourages the children to think about their aspirations for the future, beyond their school lives. Throughout their time at school, the children will have opportunities to explore the world of work through their topics – through visits to workplaces, visiting speakers, and annual Career weeks. Through these, we aim to motivate the children towards their end goals for their futures.
Through engaging and challenging classroom activities, children are asked to reason about and explore their ideas to deepen their understanding of topics through questioning, discussions, and different working tasks.
