Aims and Values

Aims & Values of our School
 
At BPS, we believe that children learn best in an environment that understands the uniqueness of each child. Imagination, creativity, security, inclusion and purpose are at the core of learning within our school. We take pride in our inclusive approach and work hard to ensure diversity is celebrated and every single individual enabled to thrive. We provide a broad, rich, engaging curriculum that allows children to develop their talents explore, discover, question and encourage excellence.

We believe our creative curriculum, our focus on the unique development of each child, the value of purposeful talk through oracy, extending EYFS principles throughout the school, creating a shared shared set of values and high expectations of everyone’s potential will lead to the highest standards of academic achievement, behaviour and personal development.

At Billingshurst Primary, the core drivers of our vision are:

  • a respect for each other, taking responsibility for the care, happiness and safety of ourselves and of others
  • the love learning and an ambition to achieve excellence, knowing that we are all different but all equally important. We like the fact that we are all different
  • doing our best to make sure everyone is feeling happy and take action when someone is not
  • recognising that we are all special and unique, and deserve to give and receive the very best from our school.
