The Brocklewood Primary School Vision
Imagine with all your mind!
Believe with all your heart!
Achieve with all your might!
Misson Statement
At Brocklewood Primary School it is our responsibility to provide an enriching and stimulating curriculum which will fire the imagination of every pupil. Furthermore, we will strive to nurture self-belief so that all pupils can achieve to their full potential.
Our values in school support and promote the British values as defined in the 2011 Prevent Strategy.
The British values are:
Democracy
The rule of law
Individual Liberty
Mutual Respect
Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
In school these values are promoted throughout at all times and in all curriculum areas and form a key part of our expectations of children, parents and staff.
At Brocklewood we “imagine, believe, achieve”. We are ambitious and encourage our children to fulfil their potential by dreaming big and having confidence in themselves.
At our school we provide pupils with a curriculum that is relevant for them, as children growing up in the local community. We are preparing our pupils to be 21st Century citizens who contribute positively to local, national and global communities. We believe that global learning helps pupils make sense of the increasingly complex and rapidly changing world in which they live. Literacy skills are integral to enabling our pupils to access the curriculum.
Our curriculum is carefully designed to enable pupils to think critically about world issues and to develop an awareness of the impact our own actions can have on others.
Knowledge, skills and attitudes are built through our six themes:
•Identity and Diversity
•Sustainable Development
•Rights and Responsibility
•Health and Wellbeing
•Peace and Conflict
•Social Justice and Equity
Each year the themes are taught through a different learning focus which are steered by five curriculum drivers alongside English, Maths and Science:
•Enquiry
•Enterprise
•The Arts
•Technology
•Wellbeing
Our curriculum connects to real life, promotes thinking as a global citizen and develops the character skills so that young people can make meaningful contributions to society. It is designed to enable children to invest in learning and to make deep connections between learning and understanding the world they live in.
