We have a strong focus on the well-being and achievement of every child so that their time in our school is rewarding, enjoyable, and successful. We are aspirational for our pupils. To fulfill our vision and aims, we maintain a learning environment where high standards and creativity go hand in hand with excellent behavior, respect, resilience, and independence.

Our school holds a lot of personal information – about pupils, parents, teachers, etc., and the new General Data Protection Regulation is the law that says how we can hold, use and store it. We have always been very careful with the personal data we hold and we will continue to have the highest standards under the new laws. At Richard Cobden Primary School we are committed to ensuring our pupils receive a high-quality education through an enriched curriculum that reflects the diversity of our community. We value and celebrate the diverse backgrounds of everyone at our school. We also value and celebrate being part of Britain. We place a high priority on helping our pupils to develop as confident and responsible citizens. In doing this, it is very important to us that our pupils have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities. This is achieved through the values, aims, and ethos of our school which is underpinned by the fundamental British values of: Democracy The rule of law Individual liberty Mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs View full school
