Visions and Values
Here at Widden Primary School our aim is to provide children with a wide range of engaging and high quality learning opportunities.
We strongly believe that children learn best when they are focused on the things that interest them, have a clear purpose and are fun. Our staff team has a vast amount of expertise and every member is committed to providing a bespoke, broad and balanced curriculum for our children and the community we serve.
Our curriculum is dynamic, and staff, just like our children, are committed to self-improvement.
Everyone in our school aims to be the best they can be.
We place emphasis on academic achievement alongside the development of the whole child and strive for educational excellence in all that we do. We have high aspirations for EVERY child in our school.
We aim to maximise learning by ensuring every moment spent here is a valuable one. Our FREE school values of:
Friendship
Respect
Excellence
Equality
provide a vehicle for learning across the curriculum and are embedded in everything we do.
Forest School, outdoor learning and our thriving sports provision are vital parts of school life for all of our children and provide additional opportunities for children to become absorbed in their own learning. We aim to build children’s self-confidence and their independence in order that they develop into life-long learners. Please read our Curriculum Intent Statement for details of how we achieve these aims.
Most importantly, we value our children, their voice and their childhood within our community. Our team of enthusiastic teachers and teaching assistants, along with supportive governors and parents, are dedicated to providing a varied, fun and safe environment within which children can flourish and reach their true potential.
We welcome visits to our school. Please contact the school office to ask any questions, to discuss individual needs or to arrange to visit our school.
Kind regards,
Elaine Le Gros
