We are a happy, friendly, and caring school in which every child is encouraged to be their best and do their best. We offer a rich curriculum underpinned by education in values for life and use every opportunity we can to celebrate all of our children’s achievements: academic, sporting, creative and social. Our school motto is: "Enjoying our learning, aiming for excellence".
We believe that every pupil in Bells Farm is entitled to:
- Be safe, secure, and happy in a school environment that has their welfare, safety, and education at the heart of everything it does.
- Grow and learn in a values–based community that fosters care, respect, and tolerance in all and for all members of the school community.
- the best possible opportunities to achieve against personal goals and national expectations.
- The highest quality teaching allows them to enjoy and achieve the best in their learning.
- A broad and rich curriculum at every stage of their school life.
- Encouragement to develop as well-rounded individuals and independent learners for life, assessing and evaluating their learning as they work towards their goals.
At Bells Farm, we continuously strive to ensure that everyone in our school is treated with respect and dignity. Each person in our school will be given a fair and equal opportunity to develop their full potential with positive regard to gender, ethnicity, cultural and religious background, sexuality, or disability.
We aim to teach children how to grow into positive, responsible people, who can work and co-operate with others while developing knowledge and skills so that they achieve their true potential.
The curriculum is all the planned activities that we organize to promote learning and personal growth and development. It includes not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum but also the range of extra-curricular activities that the school organizes to enrich the experience of the children. It also includes the ‘hidden curriculum, or what the children learn from the way they are treated and expected to behave.
Our school curriculum is underpinned by Values Education. The value words we have adopted are an integral part of our curriculum and are how the school achieves its objective of educating children in the knowledge, skills, and understanding that they need to lead fulfilling lives.
