Buttercup Primary School

Buttercup Primary School was the result of a strong intention, dedication and hard work from a young mother who carried a vision of creating a safe and secure learning environment, that will consist of highly qualified members of staff who will pursue the goal of bringing up the next generation of young children with a good balanced teaching of both the National Curriculum and the Islamic Curriculum with high standards.

Today the school continues to strive to be a welcoming centre of learning in which Islamic education is flourishing. Muslim values, principles and standards lie at the heart of our education alongside a strong recognition of world faiths and the multicultural society in which we live in.

Our vision is to develop a Muslim generation capable of analytical and critical thinking who become Muslims by conviction and who will strive to fulfil their role positively and proudly in multicultural Britain alongside others.

Our excellent facilities and resources develop enjoyment and pleasure in learning and promote the personal development of our pupils both spiritually and socially to become well-rounded individuals who are able to make a valuable contribution to Society.

As well as the vision statement, the school lists a number of aims. These include for the children to:

• Develop knowledge and skills through an exciting and creative curriculum which fosters a lasting enjoyment of learning.
• Provide a distinctively Islamic environment within which children feel safe and happy and where faith, respect, honesty, trust and love are valued and actively promoted within everyday learning opportunities.
• Celebrate children’s individuality, effort and achievement while fostering positive attitudes towards self-esteem, learning and worship.
• Show respect and empathy towards others, enabling them to make positive relationships with a wide range of people.
• Recognise and meet the individual needs and potential of every pupil, in all aspects of life and learning.
• Allow pupils to develop confidence through a range of activities in a safe environment.
• Tackling poverty and intolerance.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. In order to ensure this our recruitment and selection policy is in accordance with local and national guidelines.
