Kaizen Primary School is a very dynamic place to learn. How we organise learning, how we excite, enthuse and engage children is the most powerful thing we can do to impact children’s ability to achieve and become lifelong learners. We achieve this through well informed, confident staff, who are able to structure flexible learning opportunities. We are absolutely focussed on learning; be that children or adults. All adults are supported to consider and achieve their ambitions. Working together, and as a result of having Teaching School status, we can create clear career pathways and seek out exciting opportunities for staff to grow and develop.

Our very special school, deserves a special name – hence Kaizen. It’s a Japanese word, which means making continuous improvement to your life by putting effort in every day. We talk to the children every day about their continuous learning journey. Each day is an important one as they take small steps towards big dreams. Kaizen is an Eko School benefiting from the challenge and support that the Trust provides.

The great learning that happens for children and adults means we achieve many things and we’re very proud of this. We achieved an Outstanding grade in Ofsted in June 2015. Never a school to stand still, we became a teaching school and a national support school. Most recently, because of the work we do for the professional development of staff, we achieved the CPD Quality Mark Gold Award.

We are all passionate that children and adults develop and maintain a life-long love of learning and are looking forward to working in partnership with you. Come and see us and begin our journey together to achieve amazing things.
