Home School Agreement

Aims and Vision

At Broadhurst we are a learning community with the children very much at the heart of everything that we do. Our main aim is to encourage the children to develop a life long love of learning whilst giving them the skills and values to become positive citizens of the future.

We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is the foundation for a successful education and we value the contributions that parents and carers make to the life of the school. It is important to us that the children have an excellent start in our Early Years Foundation Stage and we recognise the significant role of parents in helping their child to progress.

Our ethos is inclusive and caring and we aim to support and nurture every child to achieve their best. All our children have talents and strengths and we believe it is vital to provide them with the opportunities to develop their strengths, behave well, support each other and grow in confidence.

In order to do this we have developed an exciting and stimulating curriculum to fully engage the children to enjoy learning and make excellent progress. We aim to adapt our teaching and learning around the needs and abilities of all our pupils.

Our aims for the children:

  • We value each child as a unique individual
  • Each child is supported and encouraged to achieve their best in a nurturing and caring environment
  • We have high expectations in a ‘can do’ culture where the children rise to the challenge
  • Our curriculum is stimulating and develops the children’s, enjoyment, confidence, ability to think and reason, ability to cooperate and share ideas, resilience and independence
  • Our curriculum reflects the society in which we live, including, using the latest technology, awareness of cultural diversity,  developing tolerance and global responsibility
  • We develop the children’s experience of nature and outdoor spaces by using it as a teaching resource
  • We foster a sense of community amongst parents, staff, pupils and the local area
  • Every child has a voice and a feeling of ownership of the school
