Welcome to Ballifield Primary School 3-11 years

At Ballifield Primary School, everyone in our community, from our nursery to year 6, lives our motto of ‘A Family of Learning’ by closely supporting each other and working collaboratively to support our pupils to be resilient, compassionate, collaborative, confident and life-long learners. We do this by celebrating and incorporating our core values through everything we do.

Children, their well-being and achievement, are at the centre of all our decision making. The value and the potential of every child, parent and member of staff is recognised and a culture of inclusion is identifiable in the whole school community.

We are determined to give every single child the opportunity to develop their full potential and succeed, by ensuring the pupils are immersed in a broad and stimulating curriculum, which is delivered within our nurturing environment. We supply our pupils with a wide range of opportunities and memorable, first-hand experiences.

Our vision and determined ambition, for all pupils, is to ensure they are happy and have positive mental health and well-being. We aim to provide conditions in which pupils can develop their literacy and numeracy skills and have a broad understanding of how the world around them works. In this way, we ensure that they are well equipped and prepared for the next phase in their education, ensuring that social, moral, spiritual, cultural and personal development opportunities thread through the curriculum. Every child has an entitlement to feel safe, to be included, to be healthy and to have a quality education with a wide range of formative experiences.

We want every child to have the opportunity to debate, to be articulate, to adapt, to cope with change and to flourish and to find their place in the world, to know how to live and work together harmoniously and accept the diversity of a range of cultures and backgrounds. We extend the classroom, the teaching and learning process to include parents, carers and the wider community. Experience of local community and of global issues contributes to the development of the whole child. Parents, Governors, pupils and staff work together in close partnership in order to improve all aspects of school life.

At Ballifield Primary School, we offer a comprehensive educational experience starting at our nursery, ensuring a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Additionally, our Nurture Hub provides a supportive environment for children who need extra emotional and social support, helping them thrive academically and personally. We immerse our pupils in an engaging, stimulating, and broad curriculum delivered within a nurturing environment. Our pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities and memorable, first-hand experiences.
