Children at Decoy Community Primary School are actively encouraged to grow up to be kind, diligent, imaginative, and interesting citizens.
Ensure that the learning environment is joyful and stimulating so that curiosity, creativity, enjoyment, and interest in all parts of learning are encouraged.
Using a variety of teaching techniques and experiences, provide each kid with a high-quality education that is tailored to their requirements.
Our four guiding principles at Decoy Community Primary School help the students become valuable members of the school community.
In order to make sure that our values are at the centre of everything we do, they are ingrained not just in our teaching and learning but also in the surroundings of our school.
Children are taught that our values exist to help them succeed in both school and in life.
The four ideals we uphold are only the highlights of a broad variety of learning-to-learn abilities.
The students gradually gain a deeper knowledge of the skills they must master in connection to the four values as a result of the discrete teaching of these skills and frequent, clear references to them.
The term "key skills" refers to these abilities.
Key skills are taught discretely in scheduled activities, such as the PSHE curriculum, and our values are ingrained in our curriculum.
Everywhere in the school, such as in praise for students, behaviour punishments, incentives, and reports to parents, explicit references to our core principles and critical thinking abilities are employed.
Treat others as you would like them to treat you is our simple Golden Rule.
All kids should be able to study, feel secure, and enjoy themselves at school, according to Decoy School.
As a result, the school behaviour policy is created to support a framework for controlling behaviour inside the school that is reasonable and recognised by everyone in the school community.
