The Quinta Primary School is a large team of dedicated adults proudly educating almost 500 pupils everyday. We pride ourselves on having a secure knowledge of each and every child, relentlessly focusing on our core values, and a continual cycle of self improvement which ensures our children experience a uniquely excellent primary education. We believe that every single minute of each day is a gift and as a result, all of our decisions are formed around 4 keystone values:
Everyday excellence - In every relationship we build with pupils and adults, in every lesson delivered, residential experienced or path gritted we strive for excellence. We are research led in our strategic decision making and continuously and rigorously monitor the effectiveness of our provision.
Authentic Care - We care deeply about our community and understand that positive relationships are at the very heart of everything we build. With every interaction, whether with child or adult, we intend to ensure everyone feels valued, listened to and cared for.
Independence - 'Knowing what to do when we don't know what to do.' Developing a skill set in each and every person to allow them to thrive in their world, is a key priority at The Quinta. We intend to ensure that pupils and adults have or develop strategies to stay safe both on and offline, are aware of support networks that they can access and can self regulate their emotions.
Opportunity - 'We don't know what we don't know.' Immersing children and adults in as many first hand experiences as possible, opens up ideas and skills that they may not have ever known they had. Here at The Quinta we believe in opening doors for the future.
