Our Values
At West Cornforth Primary School, we value every pupil as an individual and provide high-quality education and care within a stimulating and nurturing environment.
Our mission is to create a safe, inclusive and supportive school where every child has the opportunity to achieve their full potential across all areas of learning and development. We are committed to developing children’s confidence, motivation and enthusiasm for learning, encouraging them to become resilient, independent and successful learners.
We achieve this through the planning and delivery of a wide range of creative, challenging and engaging learning experiences that meet the diverse needs of all our children. We promote a positive school culture built upon mutual respect, kindness and an understanding of both rights and responsibilities.
We want every member of our school community to feel welcomed, valued, respected and safe, ensuring that all children can thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
The school aims, in partnership with home:
- To provide a happy and welcoming school where children enjoy learning and fulfil their potential through a broad and balanced curriculum.
- To respect, value and include everyone in our community, regardless of race, religion, culture or ability.
- To develop our children’s self esteem and self-confidence so they feel proud of themselves, proud of their achievements and proud of their school.
- To develop in our children lively, inquiring minds, the ability to question, to argue rationally and to apply themselves to realistic tasks and challenges.
- To develop within each child the powers of imagination, creativity and self-expression.
- For children to become self disciplined with a clear understanding of right and wrong.
- To nurture each child’s emotional and spiritual development.
