Britannia Village Primary School is a thriving multi-cultural inclusive school, which promotes a safe, caring, challenging, and creative environment. We aim to develop independent, responsible, pupils who have respect and environmental awareness and are equipped with the skills needed to contribute positively to their community and be productive global citizens. We have high standards and expectations for ourselves and our pupils which are supported in partnership with our parents/carers.
The school is committed to developing environmental initiatives which help to reduce our waste. Children contribute by recycling, composting, and planting vegetables. We appreciate the contribution the school grounds can provide, together with potential stimulating additional learning. We have developed a wildlife garden with chickens and a pond.
We also promote a healthy lifestyle of regular exercise together with an awareness of healthy eating choices. We provide swimming, gymnastics and many sports and dance school clubs.
Our school has made a substantial investment in ICT. All our classrooms have interactive whiteboards all children have access to laptops connected via a wireless network
Under The Department for Education, we aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races, and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.
On our Britannia Village Primary School learning journey, we aim to provide a creative, stimulating and happy environment where achievement, mutual respect, and self-esteem are valued.
At each twist and turn we aim for our pupils to develop crucial skills, attitudes, talents, knowledge, and understanding to assist their continuing growth in a changing world drawing upon our staff, parents, and the local community to guide our pupils towards and beyond the next step of their journey.
To achieve these aims we will:-
- Provide a broad, balanced, child-centered curriculum that is both accessible and appropriate to all our pupils.
- Provide opportunities for both independent development and collaborative learning.
- Demonstrate, expect and celebrate high standards in achievement, behavior, and care of the environment.
- Be rigorous in pursuit of equality of opportunity.
- Make efficient use of time and all other resources.
- Share our planning, outcomes, and concerns with parents and pupils
- Involve the school in the community and the community in the school.
At Britannia Village Primary School, we aim to enable all children, including those with Special Educational Needs to enjoy a well-balanced and broad curriculum. We pride ourselves in supporting pupils to develop their confidence, independence, and a positive self-esteem in a secure and caring environment.
At Britannia Village Primary School we believe all members of our school community have the right to be treated with respect and the responsibility to treat others in the same manner. The school works to improve the behavior of the children through a consistent and fair approach. There are whole school rules, rewards, and stepped consequences which are displayed in every classroom and around the school. These should be adhered to and referred to by all members of the school community.

- Have a stated educational purpose
