At Parkhill Junior School, we try to create an atmosphere where the children find themselves in a stimulating environment and want to come to school each day. To achieve this, we must have the support of our parents and recognize the important role they play in their children’s education. The aims of our school are:
- To celebrate our achievements and then set new goals.
- To empower everyone to develop self-belief, self-respect, and self-discipline to live a happy, healthy life.
- To feed a love of learning through a creative, dynamic, fun, and challenging curriculum suited to the twenty-first century.
- To provide first-class teaching and learning experiences that ensure progress for everyone.
- To be at the heart of the local community, preparing everyone to become responsible and pro-active national and global citizens.
At Parkhill Junior School we recognize that children are at the heart of everything we do. Everybody in our community is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential in a positive, safe, happy, and caring environment. We constantly explore new boundaries.
In our culturally diverse community, everyone’s culture and beliefs are respected and celebrated. Our vision is for everyone to be confident, independent, and motivated. Our goal is for children to feel prepared for the challenges that lie ahead. We encourage everyone to make a positive contribution to the achievement of this vision.
At Parkhill Junior School, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to reach their potential and thrive, whatever their needs or abilities. We recognize that some of our children have particular learning needs, which require additional and personalized provision.
The purpose of Teaching and Learning is to realize our school aims in every aspect of school life and across all areas of learning. We are committed to striving relentlessly to secure high standards of learning and teaching across all aspects of school life, both in and out of the classroom. Pupils ’/Learners’ Voice is inseparable from the learning and teaching approaches we practice. Contributing to our Ethos and Values are our School Rules:
- We listen carefully and do our best·
- We are respectful, caring, and co-operative
- We move quietly and sensibly around the school
- We settle our disagreements peacefully by talking about them
- We look after the school and everybody’s property.
