We want our pupils’ time in our school to be memorable and believe we provide a caring environment where every child is valued as an individual and where diversity is celebrated. We provide an excellent range of extracurricular and enrichment activities that we encourage every child to take advantage of. The vision for our school is based upon the belief that all pupils can and want to learn. We are a school that fosters a healthy learning environment, which is committed to the achievement and developing individual talent. We want to do the best for every child at every age to develop their physical, intellectual, spiritual, moral, social, and emotional intelligence. Our school is dedicated to raising standards in learning and teaching. Our school creates and maintains a safe, happy, sensitive, stimulating, and inclusive atmosphere, inviting to adults and pupils. We are a reflective school that has a culture of continuous improvement. This includes listening to the pupils’ voice through self-reflection and self-assessment. We see this as one of the essential elements of school improvement. Everyone in the school is of equal value. All members of the school team have complementary roles, responsibilities, skills, and abilities that enable all pupils to reach their full potential. Our school understands the importance of enabling children to learn in different ways. This is why our school highly values all creative activities. We believe in developing the healthy citizen of the future who can contribute to the wider community, society in general and has a desire to protect the environment. Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfill their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe, and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high-quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. It promotes teaching and learning to ensure children’s ‘school readiness and gives children a broad range of knowledge and skills that provide the right foundation for good future progress through school and life. Seven areas of learning and development must shape educational programs in early years settings. All areas of learning and development are important and inter-connected. Three areas are particularly crucial for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, and for building their capacity to learn, form relationships, and thrive. Communication and language Physical development Personal, social, and emotional development Mathematics Literacy Understanding the world Expressive arts and design At Keyworth, we aim to ensure that all children are happy, secure individuals who achieve their full potential in all areas of learning. For most children, this will simply mean being the recipient of good quality whole-class teaching. For others, there will be a need for additional small group work for short periods. For some children, intervention may be ongoing, very specific, and delivered on a one-to-one basis. We aim to establish a sporting culture that enables and encourages all children to play and enjoy the sport. We have established several after-school clubs for our pupils offering a wide variety of sporting opportunities for our children. We enter numerous school sport competitions to allow children to be competitive and are constantly developing our PE program. View full school
