Mission Statement

Orchard Community Primary School is committed to providing a broad education where all children can reach their potential in a happy, caring environment, which encourages them to value themselves and those around them.

 

Vision

At Orchard, our primary belief is that every child is an individual with limitless potential and, working in partnership with yourselves, it’s up to us to unlock those talents and confidence. Put simply, our vision is to achieve true potential for all.

We have six key areas that encompass our vision:

1. Orchard will be a welcoming, happy place where children feel safe, secure, enjoy their learning, and develop resilience, empathy, aspiration and honesty as they grow.
2. The school will provide a challenging, broad, exciting and extended curriculum which actively encourages, motivates & develops the talents of everyone in school.
3. Orchard will be an educationally inclusive school. One in which the learning, achievements, attitudes and well-being of all members of the school community matters.
4. Well-rounded personal development will ensure our children are confident, lifelong learners and responsible citizens ready to meet the challenges of the future.
5. Through the celebration and appreciation of diversity, pupils will develop strong global awareness.
6. Work in collaboration with both our partners in Symphony Trust and other schools, parents/carers and our wider community to secure the best possible outcomes for our children.

In partnership with yourselves and your extended families, we aim to communicate well and develop a shared understanding of how best to support your child. Their happiness and recognition of their success will always be at the centre of everything we aim to do.
