The Lanes Primary School is a three-form entry school based across two sites and is part of the White Hills Park Trust. We are a really positive team with great children in a fabulous community!
One of our guiding principles, which supports our efforts every day, is excellence. Everything we do is led by our desire to show excellence...this might be in our approach to work, the way we treat others, the manners we use towards our peers and visitors or in the way we respond to new experiences. You will hear the word 'excellent' many times as you move through school.
We are committed to:
Providing excellent teaching and learning by passionate experts
Having the highest expectations of all our pupils and knowing our children well
Challenging all children to strive for academic, creative, sporting and personal accomplishment within a broad, knowledge rich, vibrant curriculum
Developing a truly inclusive school, where ALL children can flourish
Celebrating achievement in all areas
Fostering an ethos of respect and empathy
Instilling a lifelong love of learning and a strong grounding for future success
Ensuring all children feel secure and happy.
We celebrate perseverance; resilience and risk taking, ensuring children welcome challenge and are not frightened to make mistakes. We encourage children to take ownership of and responsibility for their learning, so they have the confidence and curiosity to ask questions, solve problems and respond to quality feedback. We encourage the children to be proud of the school and their achievements in all areas of the curriculum. We foster open and honest communication with parents and actively seek to engage with all members of the community in a positive and collaborative manner.
White Hills Park Trust comprises nine successful schools across Nottinghamshire, five primary, two secondary (one including a sixth form) and one special school. It’s an exciting time as the Trust is embarking on a period of steady growth with further schools joining us soon. We are committed to supporting the wellbeing and career aspirations of our staff team.
Our partnership of schools is united by shared ethos and values, working in deep collaboration to give all of our children the best possible start in life. Our mission is to provide the very best opportunities and outcomes for young people. Our staff work closely together to deliver high quality teaching and learning, share good practice, pool resources and participate in joint projects for the benefit of pupils.
