Creative Dreams, Brighter Futures

 

On behalf of the Governors, staff and pupils of Albert Pritchard Infant and Wood Green Junior Federated Schools, may we extend a very warm greeting and thank you for taking the time to view our website.

 

This site states the aims and philosophy of our Federated School. We are committed to provide the children with a caring atmosphere for active learning and have a high quality staff who continually strive to achieve the highest standards of teaching and learning.

 

It is very difficult to cover every aspect of school life and if there are any questions you might have which are not answered in this site then please do contact the school. We hope the journey through the following pages gives you a flavour of our school community.

 

The starting point for learning is a positive ethos and climate of respect and trust based upon shared values across the school community, including parents of children and young people.

 

Children and young people should be encouraged to contribute to the life and work of the school and, from the earliest stages, to exercise their responsibilities as members of a community.

 

This includes opportunities to participate responsibly in decision-making, to contribute as leaders and role models, to offer support and service to others and to play an active part in putting the values of the school community into practice.

 

ALTOGETHER PLAYING WORKING GROWING

 

School Values

 

Values are principles that drive behaviour. They influence our actions and attitudes and become our framework for living. They influence our relationship with others and ourselves.

 

Values education is an approach that nurtures and enables learners to grow, making a difference to the world through who and how they are.

 

Schools should promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.

 

Our core school values are:

 

Belonging

 

Hope

 

Resilience

 

We believe that these 3 core values underpin our curriculum and school life. The children will learn about all 3 values through classwork, projects and assemblies. Each year, each class will be allocated one of the values to learn about and put into practice in more depth.

 

We expect staff to demonstrate and celebrate all 3 of our school values within their role in school.
