Our school has two guiding principles, firstly that we pursue the highest academic standards to ensure all our children achieve their full potential. Through our exciting and motivating curriculum, our children soon develop a love of learning and want to achieve their very best.
Our second guiding principle is that we are part of a family with a strong ethos of care and support for one another. Children at our school are happy and look after one another. This is helped by all children having a buddy in school, which starts in Reception. Also, we have play leaders on our playground, so that no child is ever left out or feels alone. Good manners are strongly promoted and our children are regularly complimented on them by visitors to the school and the many trips they go on.
These principles help to ensure our children blossom into confident, polite, well-rounded young people who, by the time they move on at the end of their primary years, are proud of their achievements and feel good about themselves. A huge influence on our success is the relentless high standards in all that we do. We have a highly motivated, enthusiastic team of staff who always put the children first. Our resources are excellent with bright, vibrant classrooms, spacious playgrounds, and superb ICT facilities.
Our consistent, high academic results, excellent standard of behavior, and level of care enabled us to achieve outstanding in the Ofsted inspection in September 2012. However, this has not made us complacent. We are passionate about giving our children the very best of everything. Children have one chance at their education and we believe our children deserve the absolute best.
Deciding on the primary school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make for them. In the seven years your child will be at primary school, not only will the school educate your child academically, it will have a strong influence on your child’s moral and social development.
A significant number of children may need special educational provision at some time during their school lives. For some children, the provision may last for only a short period. However, for other children, the provision may last longer. The Education Reform Act ensured that all pupils shared the same statutory right to a broad and balanced curriculum, including the National Curriculum. The special educational provision covers a wide range of needs including sensory impairment, physical disability, communication, learning, emotional and behavioral difficulties, as well as children with exceptional ability. Children who have special educational needs at Little Sutton are identified and then supported according to the guidelines specified in the Special Needs Code of Practice.
Little Sutton Primary is a diverse school. We actively promote diversity through our celebrations of different faiths and cultures. Religious Education lessons and PSHE lessons reinforce messages of tolerance and respect for others. Members of different faiths and religions are encouraged to share their knowledge to enhance learning within classes and the school. The children visit places of worship that are important to different faiths.
Little Sutton provides a secure, caring, challenging, and stimulating environment. This offers every child the opportunity to progress, with the aid of a carefully structured learning program, towards self-management with a positive view of the contribution they can make towards their education, the community in which they live, and society in general.
In close partnership with pupils, parents, staff, and governors we aim to:
