BLAKESLEY CE PRIMARY SCHOOL

Our Vision and Values

At Blakesley CE Primary we value each pupil as a unique individual and as a young person full of potential. Above all we wish to create an environment where enjoyment and achievement go hand in hand.

Children Enjoying Playtime

As a Church of England School we promote a caring community where everyone, children and adults alike, feels welcomed and valued. We foster the values of honesty, justice, tolerance of diversity and compassion and encourage the development of reflection and spirituality through our daily assemblies. Pupils are given opportunities to debate social and moral issues in dedicated classroom time and to find opportunities to help those less fortunate than themselves.

We seek to ensure that each pupil meets his/her potential across a wide and varied curriculum where music, creativity and sporting skills are valued alongside academic achievement. Pupils are encouraged to be aspirational and to take advantage of every opportunity. We place emphasis on the acquisition of good standards in literacy and numeracy, but we also encourage creativity and the arts. We acknowledge the important part that new technologies play in learning and communication and we are committed to providing our whole school school community with the knowledge, resources and skills to make best use of ICT.

We want our pupils to be confident members of our school community and the wider community in which we live. We promote an inclusive ethos, where everyone has a voice and an opportunity for that voice to be heard. Alongside this we encourage respect for others and, importantly, self respect. We expect everyone to take responsibility for their actions and behaviour such as bullying, racial prejudice, lying or stealing is not condoned.

In order to achieve these goals we recognise the importance of working in partnership with parents, our community, other schools and each other. We expect our vision and values apply to everyone in our school, pupils, governors and staff alike and wish to ensure that vision is known and shared by all.
