Every child, every chance, every day

CALMORE’S VISION

Happiness and a sense of belonging are the keys to success, and at Calmore Junior School, we hold this at the heart of all we do.

We are committed to providing a positive, safe and stimulating environment that supports us in delivering memorable and purposeful experiences. By creating curious minds, we encourage a thirst for learning helping them know more, remember more and be able to do more and a willingness to take risks.

We nurture children within our Calmore family to be respectful of themselves, each other and of our world, and be the best they can be: proud of who they are.

Values

At the core of everything we do, we live and learn by these values:

Respect Honesty Responsibility Integrity

Ambition Curiosity

Aims

 We believe that the primary years at school are a vital part of the whole development of each child. In support of this belief, we strive to:

• Achieve high standards in learning and behaviour
• Provide a safe and supportive space to thrive
• Encourage a sense of self-worth as well as respect and tolerance for others
• Encourage children to develop positive attitudes to life and a sense of wellbeing
• Provide an exciting curriculum that is motivating, creative and fun
• Actively promote British Values - tolerance, rule of law, justice, respect and liberty
• Ensure that children flourish and achieve their full potential.
• Engage the support of parents and community in the process of learning.
• Encourage children to develop personal, social, spiritual and cultural values
• Our ultimate aim is to give all our children the confidence and enthusiasm to become lifelong learners- to be independent, accurate, fluent and able to generalise and transfer learned knowledge and skills.
