Cavendish Primary School

Cavendish Primary School is a one-form entry school situated in Chiswick in the London Borough of Hounslow. We have a strong sense of community with the local area and our confident, friendly children come from a rich variety of cultures and backgrounds.

Our vision is that every child should achieve their full potential and leave academically, physically and emotionally ready to succeed at secondary school and in their future lives. The Cavendish Code instills in our children respect for each other, their teachers and cultures other than their own.

Set in spacious, leafy grounds close to the River Thames, Dukes Meadows and Chiswick House, our school provides an ideal environment for children to learn, play and flourish.

All our pupils have an entitlement to a high quality education that enables them to fulfil their potential and encourages them to become lifelong learners who value education. Our aim is for the children in our care to develop into confident, happy and socially well-adjusted young people with all the skills necessary to allow them to make a positive contribution to society. We celebrate success and encourage independence.The Cavendish Code was developed in partnership with the whole school community as an expression of our school ethos. It is the basis of our school behaviour code and it underpins everything we do.

We believe that a broad, balanced and engaging curriculum promotes the highest standards and provides the basis through which all our learners can thrive and reach their academic, physical and aesthetic potential.We prioritise the social and emotional development of our pupils and exploit every opportunity to make meaningful cross-curricular links with the core areas of reading, writing and mathematics.We ensure the ongoing promotion of positive values and learning characteristics in order that our pupils are best prepared for the next stage in their education and for making a positive contribution to life in modern, multi-cultural Britain.

In addition to the statutory curriculum, we offer children a wide range of extra and additional curricular opportunities including frequent trips and visits, special themed events e.g. book or performing art weeks and regularly commission various experts to come and work with the children around a range of areas e.g. artists and actors including those from indigenous cultures, e-safety experts, sports coaches etc.
