  • offer a wide and enjoyable curriculum, which develops awareness of health issues, well-being and cultural differences
  • take account of the diversity of learning styles
  • celebrate achievement in any area and at any level
  • share good practice amongst ourselves and with others
  • keep abreast of current trends in education and adopt those which will be of value to the children we work with
  • support parents in a variety of ways to enable them to help their own children
  • work closely with our colleagues at Studfall Junior Academy to enable a positive transition for pupils and offer a supportive resource for the community
  • work closely with other professionals to meet the needs of the individual child
  • offer extended facilities to provide a range of support on the academysite

OUR VALUES

Values are fundamental expressions of what we think and believe. As a school we encourage the children to think about personal and social values, to become aware of and involved in the life and concerns of their community and society, and so develop their capacity to be active and effective future citizens.

AT STUDFALL, OUR CORE VALUES ARE:

FRIENDSHIP

We value friendship as fundamental to the development and fulfilment of ourselves and others, and the good of the community.

RESPECT

Develop self-respect and respect for others. Promote inclusion and appreciate the diversity of people’s backgrounds and circumstances.

 RESPONSIBILITY

Take responsibility for the way we lead our lives, how we use our talents, rights and opportunities.

PERSEVERANCE

Maintain a ‘can do’ attitude and aspire to achieve your goals.

KINDNESS

Show care and concern and exercise goodwill towards others.

 

TO HAVE FUN
