Teacher in Bury

Our aim is to give our pupils the most positive and successful educational experience possible to enable them to reach their full potential, underpinned by our Christian values. We often say 'love comes first', and that is a line played out by children and adults alike. In our most recent SIAMS report we were delighted to be identified as a GOOD school (October 2021).

We encourage high expectations and work towards maximum progress for each and every-one of our pupils. Whilst our curriculum is based on the National Curriculum we offer a wide and exciting curriculum which aims to be engaging and stimulating for all our pupils. We encourage pupils to develop a love of learning, independence and resilience to prepare them for when they move to their next stages of education. We believe that our links with both the local Methodist and Parish Church enable the children to understand the Christian values that we have identified to be important in our school community.

We also ensure children are aware of and respect other beliefs within our multi-cultural school, community and society. Through these links children also realise a sense of worth, belonging and team spirit. We know children make the best progress when school and parents work together. We have regular meetings with parents to discuss progress, send termly curriculum overviews and regular newsletters to help keep families informed.
