We pride ourselves on offering innovative and creative practice. We are always seeking new and creative ways of engaging children in learning experiences that motivate and entice them to deepen their understanding and develop a lifelong love of learning.
We aim to ensure that children are en aged by their learning, enthusiastic about all aspects of their experience of school, and empowered to lead a successful and happy life. We work in close partnership with parents, carers, and members of the local community to achieve our aims.
We are committed to pursuing excellence, happiness, and success for all our children. They leave us excited by their futures, highly-skilled, resilient, and confident to begin their next stage of education. At the heart of our school is our passion for educating our children to have an absolute right to achieve their personal best. You can be confident that your child will be encouraged in learning, challenged to imagine more, and given extensive opportunities to realize their potential. The sense of pride in our school is tangible.
We have a very close relationship with our community and always listen to the views and desires of children and parents so that we can keep improving and enhancing all that we do. We hold regular coffee mornings so that parents can explore ideas with the Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher. We survey parents to gain their views and ideas for developments and consult with pupils regularly to ensure they have a central voice in school self-evaluation.
We have designed a fully comprehensive curriculum framework that meets the requirements of the latest National curriculum review. Our curriculum continues to ensure that:
- Our children's learning is both meaningful and benefits from a specific focus on the core requirements of the English and Mathematics curriculum.
- It is based on an analysis of how it can benefit the needs of our specific children and their community.
- It is designed to ensure that children can become upwardly socially mobile.
- It supports children in developing Global and fundamental British Values.
- Children are given opportunities to actively engage in their learning through meaningful and applied contexts.
- Children know they can be Expert Learners and that there are no limits on their ability.
- Children can develop a Growth Mindset to help support the effectiveness of their learning.
The school makes considerable efforts to ensure children have exposure to a wide experience beyond their local community during which these concepts are shown, through, for example, sporting events, residential visits, and outdoor centers and through visiting speakers from other religious denominations and groups. Our strong-rooted values-based understanding gives us an excellent platform for embracing difference.
We believe children learn best when they actively engage in their learning through meaningful and applied contexts. We call our approach: Learner Powered Learning. We believe that all children can be Expert Learners and that there are no limits on ability. We ensure that children develop a Growth Mindset to help support the effectiveness of their learning. We help children develop a positive 'can do' approach that enables them not to set fixed limits on their learning potential.
We aim to ensure that deep learning can be applied in a range of different curriculum areas. This enables children to master the requirements of the curriculum. We focus on learning approaches that require children to apply their skills and knowledge through problem-solving and analytical thinking.
