St Alban’s is a one-form entry CE Primary school with Nursery. As a church school, we serve the diverse local community and pride ourselves on our supportive and inclusive ethos which reflects our school motto of “Faith, Hope, Love”. It is our aim that every child leaves St Alban’s like a confident, independent, and enthusiastic learner, with strong personal aspirations and determination to succeed.
The staff team works incredibly hard to help every child achieve the highest standards that they can during their time with us. We want our children to do their very best so that they are well prepared for the next stage in their education.
We are a community in which every person is valued and respected in his or her own right. We are therefore an inclusive Church school, welcoming children from all faiths as well as those from no faith background. Our daily Collective worship invites all our children to participate and allows space for personal reflection and personal prayer. We celebrate all the Christian festivals and feast days as well as the key festivals of other world faiths represented in the school community. We work in close partnership with our parish church of St. Alban’s the Martyr.
Our Hope in God leads us to have hope and confidence in the individual:
- We believe that every child can be successful and achieve during their time at our school and beyond.
- We value experiential learning.
- We promote purposeful talk.
- We go on many visits linked to our topics to enhance our learning and experiences.
- We challenge our children through our teaching, to have high aspirations for their lives and aim to inspire them to want to learn and to become responsible citizens.
- As a Church School, firmly rooted in the teachings, values, and spiritual life of the Church of England, we aim for all children to be successful, independent learners and effective decision-makers. We value the individual and are committed to inclusive education, equal opportunities, and respect for all.
- In partnership with governors, parents, and the local community we strive to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum that promotes high achievement for all children, developing within the individual self-confidence, motivation, aspiration, and the ability to work with others.
- For our vision to be a reality, we believe:
- All children and adults must feel safe, happy, supported, and motivated to learn.
- Learning must be exciting, fun, and challenging for all involved in the process.
- All children must be allowed to reach a high standard of personal achievement, through the effective teaching and learning of key skills.
- All children and adults must feel a sense of belonging and self-worth.
- All children and adults must learn to be part of and contribute to the wider community.
