From the Middleton Community Primary School
This remark perfectly expresses how we feel about our school, our instruction, and the learning possibilities for the kids. We are aware of how crucial it is to provide children with a safe and nurturing environment so they may grow and learn. Our practise is built around safeguarding. We take pride in creating a nurturing environment where kids can grow up with positive attitudes about learning, others, and themselves. By the end of primary school, we expect that every child will have reached their full academic and social potential and will have a solid basis on which to build their further education. We try to treat every child as an individual because they are. Children learn in a variety of different ways and circumstances. We use outdoor learning as a core component of our programme. Children learn a great deal more when parents are involved, and we collaborate closely as a team to ensure the child's success. To ensure that students graduate from school ready for life in contemporary Britain, the Department for Education (DFE) published guidelines on promoting British values in schools in November 2014. We think it's crucial that these British Values penetrate each and every school in the nation. Please click on this link to learn more about these values and how we identify and use them in our daily work.
