The Children and their Learning

We aim to instil a love of learning by:

  • creating an environment where all children feel valued, happy and safe
  •  being ambitious for their learning and celebrate success
  •  the use of our exciting, experiential and well balanced curriculum
  • enriching the curriculum through making the best use of all the facilities available both inside school, in the school grounds and through the use of trips and visitors; to bring learning to life.
  •  by providing challenge and support to ensure children achieve well, learn more and remember more each year.
  •  nurturing and developing in our children the four Learning Powers, of Perseverance, Ambition, Concentration and Cooperation
  •  encouraging team work and an ability to be empathetic and to care for each other

The Staff and Leadership

Our staff are our most valuable resource, we ensure that children are at the heart of everything we do by:

  •  having strong and effective leadership
  • ensuring the quality and number of adults in the classroom is never compromised
  • expecting the highest standards of professionalism from every member of staff, whilst monitoring and supporting their well-being.
  • investing in the professional development of our staff, enabling them to deliver an engaging curriculum and to support and challenge every child.
  • taking the time to understand the needs of every child, providing support to children and families when needed.
  • celebrating everyone’s achievements and valuing everyone’s contributions as part of a team.

The Parents/carers and Wider Community

We will work closely with parents/carers and the wider community to enhance the learning of the children we will do this by:

  • sharing information with parents/carers about their child(ren) and the school, and we will listen to their views. Good communication between the school and parents is vital.
  • giving parents opportunities to learn about how the school works, and explain any changes.
  • valuing parents/carers and members of the Royston community in various roles in school such as Governors and classroom helpers.
  • valuing our PTA for their contributions to the life of their school and for the money they raise
