Creativity and excellence are at the heart of everything we do at Springwell Infant School. Children are encouraged to work to the best of their abilities. The academic curriculum offers challenge through innovative teaching and projects, which focuses on developing the talents of each child.
Our aim is that as the children grow in confidence, so does their desire to question and discuss, to reflect, and apply their learning. Our distinctive approach to learning, with the creative arts at its core, helps children excel academically. Learning through doing, through collaboration, through linking subjects in topic-based learning, all lie at the heart of our educational ethos.
Our teachers are inspiring, academically rigorous, and committed to supporting the children’s emotional and academic development. Teachers and teaching assistants are attracted here by both our educational philosophy and our outstanding reputation for professional development. With an excellent and large staff team, our pupils are given the capacity to learn, and also to grow as individuals, to express themselves, to explore, to search, and to discover.
The large sports program, the creative and performing arts, and an ever-changing diverse wealth of activities on offer ensure that every child can develop new skills and new interests important to them.
Through every strand of school life, we aim to promote our school ethos, which is tied fundamentally to the UN Rights of the child. Children learn the importance of respect, fairness, equality, democracy, tolerance, and kindness. A global understanding is nurtured through learning about our diverse community, international links, and regular charity projects. Children leave Springwell Infants academically ready for Junior education but also spiritually, morally, and culturally prepared to take on the next opportunities, responsibilities, and challenges that life offers.
We are committed to ensuring that children develop the skills and acquire the knowledge to meet and surpass curriculum requirements. We set high standards, and we are focused on our efforts to help children meet those standards. We are also sensitive to the needs and learning patterns of different children and we try to inspire them to recognize their potential and work towards achieving these.
