Cubitt Town Primary School

It is a great honour and privilege for me to be the Head teacher of such a wonderful school. It was obvious to me from the moment We first taught at Cubitt Town Primary School that this was a very special community that had at its heart a deeply caring ethos.

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.

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.

At Cubitt Town Primary School we work together to create a school where everyone feels included, supported and able to flourish. Our building and resources belong to us all, and we treat our surroundings and each other with care, respect and empathy.

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 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 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!

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 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.

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.
