The use of our Core Values in all facets of a child's life is encouraged. Our Core Values and behaviour guidelines help kids learn and comprehend what is "good" and "wrong." Our children receive support in a healthy and secure atmosphere as they learn about their rights and duties as citizens of the United Kingdom today and how we can use our voices to share ideas while adhering to English law. Additionally, at Arbourthorne Community Primary, we provide a wide selection of extracurricular activities and enhancements to help our students grow into caring, compassionate, and involved members of our school community and citizens of our nation.
