Avenue Primary School

Avenue Primary School is situated in Manor Park, East London. Avenue is a large and diverse Primary School brimming with character and charm. Staff and Governors work together to provide the children with a purposeful learning environment and one in which they will feel happy and secure.

Whilst ensuring we place great emphasis on high standards of academic achievement, we value the effort our children put into their learning and we take care to nurture a love of learning within each of them that we hope will continue with them throughout their lives.

We seek to develop our pupil’s character, promote positive learning behaviour and support them in becoming caring individuals and active citizens of the world in later life. Our school’s six learning values of cooperation, self-confidence, thoughtfulness, curiosity, motivation and resilience are central to this.

We seek to develop our pupil’s self-esteem, promote positive learning behaviour and support them in becoming thoughtful, interested and caring individuals. We regard our partnership with you, the parents/carers, as a vital part of your children’s education. We aim to involve you as much as possible in all aspects of your children’s time with us.

‘All pupils and members of staff at our School are provided with opportunities to fulfil their potential whatever their sex, race, colour ethnic or national origin, marital status, age, sexual orientation, disability or religious belief.’

We are totally committed to ensuring that equality is a fundamental part of our drive to improve and that all members of the Avenue Primary School Community should expect the best…to be the best.’

Whole School Aims

• To ensure that all pupils whatever their race, gender, age or ability feel valued and supported to achieve their best
• To promote positive learning attitudes and behaviour and create safe and effective learning environments where all children and staff show mutual respect for one another
• To provide effective and strategic leadership at all levels
• To deliver high standards of teaching that enable children to make progress and reach high standards of attainment.

At Avenue Primary School we believe that all our pupils have the right to an education which is appropriate to them as individuals. Every child should have equal opportunities and entitlement and, as far as possible, it is our aim to minimise the difficulties that pupils may experience with their learning. We aim to achieve this by ensuring regular review of our practices, provision and curriculum.

At Avenue Primary School we believe that every child should have equal opportunities and entitlement. We view Inclusion as the early identification and minimising of any barriers to learning and participating within a broad and balanced curriculum. All children in our school are valued as equal members of the learning community and have access to a common range of experiences and opportunities to extend their personal achievement in a learning community which recognises the strengths of diversity, is positively anti-racist and acts against all forms of discrimination. By Inclusion we mean both social inclusion in its widest sense addressing issues of gender, multi-linguism, ethnicity and socio-economic status as well as inclusion for children with SEN and or disabilities. We take action to promote inclusion which is reflected in policies, planning, curriculum delivery, recording, reporting and achievement. All our policies aim to promote equality of opportunity for pupils regardless of gender, race, ability or culture.

At Avenue Primary we are committed to providing pupils with good quality P.E and sporting provision so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles. Our pupils participate in indoor and outdoor physical activities on a weekly basis and enjoy the facilities of a purpose built sports hall and a large Multi-Use Games Provision.

Our P.E lead, alongside our Sports coach and other coaches aim at all times to improve the quality of P.E and sport provision within in the school whilst ensuring that this area of provision becomes firmly embedded into the life of the School.
