School Aims and Values
In 2011, the government defined British Values as democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. We promote these values every day through our own school values and curriculum.
At Locking Stumps Community Primary School we strive to provide a safe, happy and consistent environment for our pupils to experience high standards of education, an engaging curriculum and where they develop as young people and global citizens.
At the heart of our curriculum is the belief that every child should be well mannered, respectful and aspirational; this is emphasised within our School Values. We focus on the social, emotional and spiritual development of children, as we believe that happy children who experience an engaging and purposeful curriculum delivered by passionate and effective teachers are more likely to achieve academic success.
Our curriculum recognises the views of children and their families; these views impact on the implementation of our vibrant curriculum. The fundamentals of the curriculum also takes guidance from the DfE’s guidance framework called ‘Character Education’ which focuses on the personal development for all children.
Our curriculum ensures that children experience appropriate breadth, key skills and knowledge as set out in the National Curriculum but it is delivered in a way that is exciting, memorable and promotes lifelong learning. We believe that the best learning allows children to make links, therefore, where possible, we provide a ‘Topic Based’ approach that is driven predominantly by PSHE, History, Geography, Science and Engaging Literature.
Inspiring each other every day. Anything is possible.
