From the Lanesend Primary School
We think education should be interesting, intriguing, and fun. We actively encourage our children to be imaginative, and our teachers are highly skilled in creating learning environments in which every child has the opportunity to understand how they can realise their potential, providing dynamic and engaging activities. Play is a crucial educational technique for establishing the value of cooperation and social contact as well as for fostering a sense of generosity. Our classrooms are lively, roomy, and enjoyable, and we showcase the students' work all over the building. This year, as part of the curriculum's British Values component, we are expanding the etiquette and manners lessons we currently offer. We firmly believe that every staff member on our team has a duty to assist the kids in fostering a passion of learning that will last a lifetime. At Lanesend Primary School, we are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity for all children, staff, families and carers irrespective of race, gender, disability, belief, sexual orientation, age or socio-economic background. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone associated with the school is proud of who they are and is able to fully engage in school life. We combat discrimination by actively promoting equality, by opposing bullying and stereotypes, and by fostering an atmosphere that values respect for all. At Lanesend Primary School, we think that everyone who learns, teaches, or visits should respect and value variety as a strength.
