Our Aims

 The Staff and Governing body of St Andrew’s C of E (VC) Primary School aim to educate each child to the highest level of attainment, having regard to his or her aptitude and ability, with particular emphasis on motivation through interest and direct experience.  Achievements will be recognised and celebrated in all areas of school life.

We aim for pupils to be confident, self disciplined, creative, independent and resilient within a full and very broad curriculum.  To promote and develop as fully as possible the personal development of each child in order to strengthen personal esteem and self confidence.  A variety of learning styles will be fostered to develop and sustain a sense of wonder and discovery, a delight in learning and achievement and a curiosity about the world.

We aim for pupils to value themselves and show tolerance and respect for others religious and cultural diversity, difference, abilities and disabilities.  Pupils will learn about responsibility in school and for the wider and global communities to which they belong, including how to be good citizens and the importance of caring for the environment.  High standards of work, manners and behaviour are expected.

We aim to foster communication and dialogue with parents, governors and the community which encourages participation and working enthusiastically together to achieve our vision and aims.

We aim to ensure a welcoming, stimulating, safe and well ordered environment for all pupils and staff.  A wide range of resources which are effectively used to support learning will be provided.  Support, guidance and training will be given to all those who teach and work with our children.
