We are extremely proud of our school and hope your child or children will be very happy with us. Camrose is an average size primary school with a Nursery. As a Rights Respecting school our ethos is built around the rights of our pupils and the importance of being respectful and considerate towards each other.
We also believe that we can only achieve the best for our pupils by working closely with parents and carers. Our School Vision

We will ensure that every child develops into responsible, active citizens through the encouragement of respectful, positive behaviors. We will enable every child to reach their full potential through a stimulating, challenging curriculum, appropriate to each individual's needs and rewarding their efforts.
We will have high expectations and pursue excellence to build the confidence and self-esteem of all pupils. We will instill a caring attitude that respects the beliefs and abilities of all within the school and wider community. We will value and respect the opinions and ideas of all stakeholders.
We will create a safe and stimulating environment that reflects our values and promotes a sense of self-worth and community. We will promote and share life-long learning through high-quality continuing professional development for all staff and by developing a learning culture throughout the school.
Camrose Primary School is committed to building successful partnerships between the home, school, and the wider community. It is a place where everyone’s opinions are valued and respected and where our pupils develop a sense of responsibility, self-esteem, empathy for others, and independent thinking skills that will enable them to become active, global citizens.
The importance of Laws, whether they be those that govern the class, the school, or the country, are consistently reinforced throughout regular school days, as well as when dealing with behavior and through school assemblies. Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves, and the consequences when laws are broken. Visits from authorities such as the Police Fire Service Local Magistrates etc. are regular parts of our calendar and help reinforce this message.
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 of provision of a safe environment and empowering education. Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and advise how to exercise these safely, for example through our E-Safety, Religious Education, and PSHE lessons. Whether it be through choice of challenge, of how they record or participation in our numerous extra-curricular clubs, pupils are given the freedom to make choices. We believe all children at Camrose Primary School have entitlement to learning experiences that will enable them to achieve their maximum potential.
At Camrose, diversity is highly valued and children are encouraged to develop mutual respect and tolerance of each other and to believe that there are no limits to individual effort and achievement.
We follow the London Borough of Harrow Guidelines for Learning Support in line with the National SEN Code of Practice for the identification and assessment of Special Educational Needs. Children who are identified as having Special Educational Needs may be supported on an individual basis, in small groups, or within the class through the differentiation of the curriculum.
The ‘Good to be Green’ scheme is an effective way of promoting positive behavior, rewarding those pupils who consistently behave appropriately, and is a means of being able to track those pupils who find it harder to meet the school’s respectful behavior expectations. (see Behaviour Policy).
Every child starts their day on a positive note with a green card displayed in their pocket of the Class Chart. The card says- ‘It’s Good to be Green!’ and the children soon learn to associate being on Green with a feeling of having done the right thing. If they are still on Green by the end of the day, the child ticks their name on the class chart.
If during the day, in lessons, or around the school, a child has to be warned of inappropriate behavior or has broken a school rule, then an Amber Warning Card will be displayed over the top of the Green card. The warning gives the child the opportunity to reflect, consider and review their behavior. If a child is already on an Amber Warning Card, and they have to be told again of inappropriate behavior, then there are consequences. The Good to be Green Behaviour system is for monitoring and responding to behavior in class, in assembly, and at school events. It is not for the playground. The objective is for each child to stay green all week.
Children who stay on green for 80% of the week receive a certificate from the teacher. A display board shows the pupils who have remained on Green all week and their achievement is celebrated during our fortnightly Celebration assembly.
