We are the PRIDE of Porchester, and our core values—Respect, Aspiration, Responsibility, Confidence, and Resilience—are the foundation of our school community.

We don’t just focus on academic success; we also nurture essential life skills, character, and confidence, ensuring our children are ready for the challenges of the future.

Our commitment to pupil leadership and empowerment is embedded in everything we do. We actively encourage our students to take responsibility for their learning, develop independence, and make positive contributions within and beyond the school community. We don’t just teach lessons—we inspire futures.
Porchester is more than just a school; it is a family. We are proud of the strong relationships we have built with our children, staff, and families. As described by our pupils in our recent OFSTED report, we are “a family away from home” (OFSTED, 2021). We foster a culture of belonging, mutual respect, and trust, where every child feels safe, valued, and supported.
At Porchester, we invest in our staff. We believe in continuous professional development, providing opportunities for our team members to grow, learn, and take on leadership responsibilities.
