Cubitt Town Infants' School

Cubitt Town Primary School is a happy, friendly school situated within the Isle of Dogs. We are committed to providing the best possible learning environment to ensure that the achievement of every single child matches their potential. We are blessed with good quality staff who are dedicated and enthusiastic, and with an incredibly supportive set of governors who give up their time voluntarily to take on the awesome task of managing the school.

As an inclusive school that promotes a set of values that are enduring and seeks not only to achieve excellence intellectually, but also creatively, it is my belief that there is much more to school life than the rigour of school exams.  At Cubitt Town Primary we strive to nurture our students in order that they may become caring, compassionate human beings ready to make a positive contribution to the wider community when they leave our care while challenging them to ensure they achieve their full potential.

We understand that children achieve best when home and school work together. Effective communication and our ‘Open Door Policy’ underpin our strong parent relationship. Together with an outstanding Community House which offers opportunities for parent to receive guidance about the best ways to support children.

We collaborate
We always work as a team and understand that including everyone is important. We know we may not always agree, but work together to make sure nobody feels left out or unheard. We are proud that everybody is welcome at our school.

We care
About ourselves, our school community and the environment. We work hard to keep ourselves healthy and support each other to stay happy and safe. If we are worried about anything or for anyone, we ask for help.

We are committed
We are committed to our learning! We work hard, and know that from great effort comes great success. We learn from our mistakes and ask for support when needed, but also know that it is important to develop our independence by trying our very best.

We communicate
We actively listen to others and spend time thinking about what has been said. We use expert oracy skills to contribute to discussions using respectful vocabulary even when we disagree. We talk openly about our feelings and learning.

We are curious
We are curious about the amazing world around us! We ask questions all the time, and work with our teachers and classmates to find the answers!

We challenge ourselves
We relish a challenge. We believe that the best, most exciting learning happens when we stick at it – even when it’s not easy the first time. We see mistakes as opportunities to learn. We want to learn!
