What the school offers its staff
At Pendle Primary Academy we aim to provide an environment where all children are inspired to learn and achieve to the very best of their ability. Our children love coming to school. They feel safe, develop strong friendships, have fun in their learning and their play, and have the confidence to explore new challenges.
Our core values are based on our vision that every child will SHINE: they will be Safe, Here, Inspired, Neighbourly and Excellent in everything they set out to achieve. These values are embedded in everything we do throughout school.
The curriculum at Pendle Primary Academy is learner-centred and has been developed internally to reflect the needs of our children and community. A rich tapestry of experiences underpins the academy’s curriculum, offering all children opportunities to develop a practical understanding of the world; these experiences form the bedrock of the curriculum and provide the foundation of children’s learning.
We have over 400 children on roll from a range of backgrounds, the majority of whom speak English as an additional language. As an accredited Voice21 Oracy Centre of Excellence, we pride ourselves on our commitment to ensuring that all children learn to be effective communicators during their time with us, simultaneously using their learning to improve their talking skills, and further developing their curricular learning through exploratory and presentational talk. Supported by innovative technological approaches to recording and assessing children’s outcomes, we offer a fully inclusive curriculum which enables all children, regardless of their individual starting points, to thrive and succeed.
By joining Pendle Primary Academy you will become part of a supportive and ambitious team. We collaborate with our colleagues at Casterton Primary Academy and Castercliff Primary Academy, as well as the two secondary academies in Pendle Education Trust, and benefit from the support of the Trust’s core team for functions such as Finance, Facilities, Human Resources, Health and Safety, IT, Marketing and Governance.
