Our School Ethos 

Our Vision

At Primrose Lane, we believe in making learning meaningful and memorable. We want all our children to thrive in a happy, secure and inclusive environment where they develop enquiring minds, enjoy learning and have high aspirations, every lesson, every day. We want Primrose Lane to be a place where all children achieve their full potential, academically and socially through high quality teaching and personal development opportunities. We offer our pupils a rich variety of opportunities and experiences that help them understand the true meaning of the British Values, preparing and inspiring them to become responsible, active citizens of the future.

We challenge our children to be independent and self-motivated with the resilience to continue their lifelong learning journey so they can flourish, contributing positively to society with strength and compassion.

Children and staff are proud to be part of our school community. Our school culture is built upon our strong core moral values and school rules which we communicate daily in class, through assemblies and in our interactions, providing the children with a true understanding of what they mean.  

Our school is at the heart of the local community, and we are committed to nurturing the next generation of learners and leaders.

Our Values

We are Kind. Kindness is at the core of our school community. We believe that by treating each other with compassion, empathy, and respect, we can create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. Our children learn the importance of kindness through daily interactions, classroom activities, and whole-school initiatives that promote understanding and acceptance. Staff explicitly model how to be kind to each other through their interactions with pupils and with each other.

We are Ambitious. We encourage our pupils to set high expectations for themselves and to believe in their ability to achieve their goals. Our teachers work tirelessly to instil a ‘can do attitude’ in all our children, helping them to understand that effort, perseverance, and a willingness to learn from mistakes are the keys to success.

We are Honest. Honesty and integrity are essential to our school's ethos. We teach our children the importance of being truthful, taking responsibility for their actions, and admitting when they have made a mistake. By modelling these values, we help our pupils develop the confidence and self-awareness to navigate the challenges of life with courage and integrity.

We are proud to be Primrose Lane! 

Our Educational Approach

Primrose Lane Primary School is an inclusive school that welcomes children of all backgrounds and abilities. We believe that every child has unique strengths and needs, and we are committed to providing personalised support and tailored learning experiences to help each individual reach their full potential.

Our educational approach is centred on building strong, nurturing relationships between our staff, pupils, and families. We recognise that children thrive when they feel safe, supported, and valued, and we work relentlessly to create a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

To support our children's academic, social, and emotional development, we employ a balanced curriculum that combines core subjects with opportunities for creativity, physical activity, and outdoor learning.

Putting Our Ethos into Practice

At Primrose Lane, our ethos and values are woven into the fabric of our school community. From the moment our children step through the doors, they are immersed in an environment that celebrates kindness, ambition, and honesty.

Children receive dojos not only for making the right choices but also for demonstrating they understand our core school values of kindness, ambition and honesty. We recognise students who have gone above and beyond to help their peers or contribute to the school community and who have pushed themselves to do their very best in all areas of the curriculum. Receiving dojo awards not only reinforce the importance of our values but also inspire our children to emulate these in all they do.

Honesty is a cornerstone of our school culture, and we work hard to create an environment where children feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and admit their mistakes. Our class reflection areas often provide questions that facilitate students to reflect on their actions, identify areas for improvement, and develop strategies for making better choices in the future.

By weaving our ethos and values into every aspect of school life, we aim to inspire our children to become the best versions of themselves - kind, ambitious, and honest individuals who are well-equipped to navigate the challenges of the world and make a positive impact on their communities.
