At Newtons Primary School we have a clear vision for our children “Together we reach for our personal best.” Through our broad, balanced, and relevant curriculum, we prepare pupils to learn and thrive living as citizens in the modern world.
We pride ourselves on having vibrant, dedicated staff who share the common goal of developing children’s academic abilities and life skills through engaging and inspiring lessons. Children are always encouraged to investigate, initiate, contribute and reflect as they progress along their path of learning.
For us at Newtons Primary, education is about more than just exam results, it is about every child reaching their full potential, socially and academically. It is about ensuring that each child is cherished, supported, and empowered to achieve. Good manners and respect for one another are highly valued we promote social awareness and provide clear moral guidance. We never underestimate the important role we play in your child’s life and therefore strive to make each day the best it can be. We offer an exceptionally nurturing environment to help children develop the skills and knowledge they need to progress in their education and beyond.
Our pupils learn how to lead a healthy lifestyle. Pupils take part in a wide range of sporting activities both during lessons and extracurricular clubs, including a very popular ballroom dancing club. Pupils are taught how to adopt safe practices in all of their lessons. We have theatre companies who visit to reinforce road safety. Children in Years 5 and 6 are offered Cycle Training. If they pass Level 2 they are allowed to cycle to school.
We offer a wide and varied curriculum. Our curriculum is enriched by visitors to school and the trips that different year groups take. We value the importance of the Arts. Every child in Years 2 and 3 learns to play the violin at no cost to parents. Children who show aptitude and enjoyment may continue playing the violin to the end of Year 6.
Our curriculum allows all pupils to develop their key skills of reading, writing, mathematics, and computing. Our pupils are taught how to work as members of groups and teams.
We have strong links with the local community. We entertain elderly residents at the local community center at Christmas and sing carols on the Orchard Village Estate. We have many fund-raising projects throughout the year and we look at the work of different charities.
