Bangabandhu Primary School

Bangabandhu is a happy, vibrant and fully inclusive school which strives to meet the needs of each, unique child. We offer a broad curriculum including a wide range of enrichment activities.

At Bangabandhu we believe that all children should be supported and challenged to achieve their full potential. We place a high emphasis on differentiating lessons and personalizing learning to enable every child to make the best possible progress. We have high expectations for all our children and strive to maintain high standards throughout the school.

At Bangabandhu we believe the two people who have the greatest impact on children’s outcomes are parents and teachers. Therefore, we are fully committed to working in partnership with parents and developing supportive and long-standing relationships with families.

Bangabandhu has an open-door policy and warmly invite you to come and see us in action. We would love to show you around our wonderful school.

At Tower Hamlets Primary schools, there is nothing more important to us than the physical and emotional health and well-being of our pupils. As such we have created and worked relentlessly to maintain a climate in which staff, pupils, parents and governors feel able to voice concerns comfortably; knowing that effective action will be taken. We are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our pupils. We engender the principle that safeguarding is 'everyone's responsibility'. All staff and volunteers should raise any concerns they have about poor or unsafe practice and potential failures in the school safeguarding regime.

We want Bangabandhu to be a community of happy, confident, motivated children who love learning. We want our children to be successful citizens who believe in and value themselves and each other.

We want our children to believe in and stand up for equality in all aspects of life. Therefore, we are continually striving to ensure that we nurture, challenge and enable each and every one to be the very best they can be in all areas of school life. We are a Rights Respecting School where the rights of children are central to all that we do. Our school motto is to 'Aim High, Take Part, Have Fun' and that is what we do everyday.

The Bangabandhu Curriculum is based on the National Curriculum and includes RE, PSHE and Philosophy for Children. We are a Gold Rights Respecting school and our curriculum reflects the culture, values and the ethos of our school.  Our curriculum is designed to prepare our pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and challenges of life in modern Britain. Learning experiences include relevant experiences beyond the classroom, such as educational visits, residentials and a wide range of after school clubs. Our Social Moral Spiritual and Cultural education (including age appropriate education on relationships and sex) aims to equip our pupils to be reflective, caring and active members of our diverse society.

At present we are currently in the process of completely redesigning our curriculum, informed by current research on how children learn. We have been learning about cognitive load and schema theory and are implementing associated strategies routinely in class. Our curriculum development will be an ongoing process taking place over this year and next, with our new and improved curriculum being launched in September 2020. We aim to develop an innovative curriculum, with opportunities for deep and rich learning experiences. The National Curriculum is a “mastery” curriculum and we believe that pupils should repeat content as many times as possible across the key stage to gradually deepen their understanding.
