Teaching and Learning

Teaching and Learning

Teaching and learning involve a shared commitment between pupils, parents, staff and governors. For optimum benefit, all should work closely together to support learning.

Working in partnership, we aim to:

• provide a supportive, positive, healthy, caring and safe environment which has high expectations and values for all members of the school community;
• recognise the needs and aspirations of all individuals and provide opportunities for all pupils to make the best possible progress and attain the highest personal achievements;
• ensure children can develop as literate, numerate and technologically competent individuals within a broad, balanced, exciting and challenging curriculum;
• provide rich and varied contexts and experiences for pupils to acquire, develop and apply a broad range of knowledge, skills and understanding;
• provide a curriculum which promotes the spiritual, moral, social, cultural, physical, mental and emotional development of all pupils;
• develop individuals with lively, enquiring minds, good thinking skills, self-respect, self-discipline and positive attitudes;
• encourage all children to be enthusiastic and committed learners, promoting their self-esteem, self-worth and emotional well-being;
• develop confidence and capacity to learn and work independently, creatively  and collaboratively;
• develop enduring values of respect, honesty, equality, integrity, tolerance, fairness and trust;
• encourage children to respond positively to the opportunities, challenges and
• responsibilities of a rapidly changing world;
• encourage children to value the diversity in our society and the environment in which they live;
• encourage children to become active and responsible citizens, contributing positively to the community and our British Values.
