At Muschamp Primary School we believe all children are entitled to develop to their fullest potential - academically, socially, emotionally, physically, morally, spiritually and aesthetically, enabling each child to grow in confidence, the ability to participate in the wider community and to prepare them for the future they choose.

The aims of this to provide prospective parents, careers and children with useful information about the school and to give current parents, staff, governors and pupils up-to-date information at the click of a button!

At Muschamp we are committed to inclusive education and ensure that all pupils receive their education entitlement as well as meeting their social and emotional needs. Every child who would benefit from SEN provision receives appropriate support which may involve the use of outside agencies when required.

Muschamp Primary School provides a rich curriculum that meets the needs of each pupil, ranging from Numeracy and English to creative arts and knowledge of the world. We develop the children’s ability to be independent and collaborative learners by developing their skills as well as their knowledge and understanding so that they can apply their learning with confidence.

The central element of our curriculum is the development of co-operative learning strategies such as active listening; Think, Pair, Share; Task Completion and Helping Others. We also use accelerated learning techniques including breaking up lessons with short physical activities, kinesthetic learning, mind mapping and thinking skills. We offer a range of after school clubs and activities to both enrich the curriculum and broaden and develop the children’s talents.

Our visions and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.

At Muschamp Primary School we are fully committed to safeguarding our pupils and staff. We take notice of and adhere to all the national and local policies and guidance in regard to Safeguarding Children and Young People.

Safeguarding is summarized as

• protecting children from harm
• preventing damage to children’s health or development
• making sure that children grow up safely, and
• taking action to make sure all children have the best start in life.

All adults working in the school must protect children from harm and abuse, including Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE), Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and Radicalization/Extremism (Prevent Duty) and be aware that any pupil may be at risk.
