Ethos
A Shered Ethos
We apply strong universal values to everything we do in school.
- Listening to pupils is the key to any good school, positive rewards and fairly appliet sanctions are used to promote this
- A caring attitude towards others leads to everyone's feelings and beliefs being respected
- Regular praise and a feeling of security help to develop self-esteem and an open and questioning mind
- Curiosity, perseverance and a prevailing "can do" attitude helps children to develop independence in their learning
- We aim to be a healthy school in our food and drink routines and the provision of regular physical activity
Teaching & Learning
Our core purpose is to provide Teaching and Learning. Children learnin many different waysso we aim to teach using many different styles.
- The classroom is silent, quiet or sometimes very noisy!
- The teacher talks, demonstrates, listens, observes, guides and disciplines
- We employ a carefully chosen range of teaching styles and classroom organisation depending on the learning objectives of the lesson
- We acknowledge that learners may have a preference for visual, auditory or kinaestetic learning styles and we plan to use all of these appoaches
- The future use of ICT will enable our learners to develop life-long habits
- Dedicated staff are encouraged to constantly develop their teaching expertise and empowered to take risks in the classroom to ensure the curriculum is exciting for young learners
