Our Vision and Values
Tolerance | Respect | Understanding | Strength | Trust
Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do.
They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils to be confident, happy citizens. We want everyone to feel welcome and ensure they have their learning needs met. We believe in the power of learning and celebrate that everyday. We strive to be better and believe collaboration with parents, between teachers, with other schools and our learners means we are always the best that we can be.
A school vision and values are the central belief clearly understood and shared by every member of the school community.
We all believe that these are the elements which are essential to Learning Believing Achieving.
The ethos of our school is built on a foundation of 5 core Values which are addressed directly through lessons, assemblies and across the whole curriculum. We learn to understand what the Values looks like and how we can demonstrate the Value, in the way we behave, in our attitude towards each other and in our learning.
Tolerance: Celebrating diversity, having an open mind and sharing in a sense of national identity.
Respect: Respecting and caring for ourselves, others and the natural world.
Understanding: Acting selflessly and recognising the challenges faced by our local community and the wider world.
Strength: Facing problems with resilience, perseverance, and standing up for what we believe in.
Trust: Developing relationships based upon honesty. Not fearing the unknown, but embracing new experiences.

The Futura Curriculum:
We inspire our children's learning through a creative curriculum, ensuring our pupils experience a wide breadth of study and have, by the end of each key stage, long-term memory of an ambitious body of procedural and semantic knowledge. Our progressive curriculum, from 3-19 years ensures that children have the requisite knowledge to proceed to their next year of study, including transition to secondary school.
Our curriculum is ambitious, meeting and often exceeding the national curriculum, for all and strives to address inclusion and disadvantage in its intent and implementation. For more information of the intent, implementation and impact of each curriculum area, please read our Curriculum Handbook.
If you have any questions surrounding the curriculum, please contact our school office team.
