A great deal of time and effort is spent by everyone in making this a really special place to work, learn and play. We believe that Pembroke offers all of its children an excellent education that is full of challenge, interest, and fun. Children are encouraged to build their self-esteem and confidence, to develop self-reliance, to take risks without fear of failure, and to make decisions about their learning. In essence: Be Kind, Be Happy, Be Safe, Be Brilliant - Be the best we can be!
We also believe that we can only achieve the best for your child by developing a close relationship between home and school. There will be many opportunities for you to find out about and to share in the education of your child. We and the team are always readily available to talk to you about any aspect of your child’s learning and development. We hope that you find our website useful but, unfortunately, it can only give you a glimpse of our work. However, we are always happy to meet and speak with parents personally.
Our Aims and Policy for Learning. The school aims to create an environment based on tolerance, care, and thought for others. We will encourage meaningful links with other schools and the community to foster the concept of citizenship and participation.
The school endeavors to create an atmosphere conducive to happy and effective learning and through this offer a curriculum incorporating the National Curriculum:
- That is matched to the individual needs of children
- That encourages children to learn through direct experience and active participation
- That encourages confidence and self-respect, self-discipline, tolerance, and compassion
- That encourages children to acquire relevant skills and knowledge
- That encourages children to be adaptable to personal, social, and technological changes
- That encourages respect for religious and moral values
-
That encourages children to develop lively and enquiring minds. The ethos of the school is such that the moral, spiritual, social, and cultural development of pupils are covered by:
- General school expectations on care for others by fundraising for those in need, visits from outside agencies, and by constant reinforcement in the class and school situation on consideration, manners, and care towards others
- The school, with the help of Pembroke’s Parent, Teacher Association, attempts to provide a stimulating diet of cultural opportunities for children through theatre visits and speakers.
The year’s topics often incorporate features to enhance the children’s social and cultural development. The spiritual development of children is covered by Monmouthshire’s agreed syllabus and care is taken to ensure that the Christian perception of life is encouraged but that religious tolerance is addressed by other faiths being researched and discussed.
