Parsloes Primary School

At Parsloes, we know that all parents have great hopes and aspirations for their children and our aim is to ensure that each pupil receives the best possible education in a happy, secure and intellectually stimulating environment.

We are extremely proud of the polite, thoughtful and enthusiastic children that come to Parsloes Primary School and we always aim to provide very clear expectations of good behaviour and respect for all which help to underpin effective learning. We believe that the environment and education that Parsloes Primary School provides for its pupils will help to ensure that they achieve their best at school and beyond.

At Parsloes, we are passionate that our children get the very best opportunities. We believe in giving our children a curriculum that is engaging with enriching activities that foster a love of learning, not just for the here and now but for life.

Our school has a caring and nurturing, exciting and stimulating learning environment where our children are at the centre of all we do. Our children are encouraged, supported and challenged to be the best they can be; with opportunities presented to them throughout their learning journey to ignite their curiosity, develop character and prepare them for their next steps.

In order for this to be achieved it is essential that every member of the school community acknowledges and reflects the core values promoted by the school.

Agreed Core Values

• Being Respectful: acting with integrity and consideration
• Being Aspirational: having high expectations of what we can achieve
• Being Understanding: demonstrating empathy and compassion
• Being Positive: Learning to persevere and develop resilience

How does Parsloes Primary School actively promote British values:

• We focus on and show, through promoting the core values of the school, how the school’s work is effective in promoting and securing British values.
• We challenge pupils, staff or parents who express opinions contrary to the core values of the school.

Democracy – what do we do?

• We provide pupils with a broad general knowledge of, and promote respect for, English law, public institutions and services through our PHSE curriculum.
• Through the work of the School Ambassadors and Pupil Leaders we empower pupils to become involved in decision making processes and ensure they are listened to in school. House Ambassadors are elected solely on pupil votes and this teaches pupils how they can influence decision-making through a democratic process.

Rule of Law – what do we do?

• We provide pupils with a broad general knowledge of, and promote respect for, English law through our PSHE curriculum and link this to their every day lives through the consistent reinforcement of our own school rules, values and expectations.
• Ensure school rules and expectations are fair and are consistently explained and reinforced to all pupils so that they understand the basis on which the rules are made.
• Help pupils to understand that rules and laws provide safety, stability and security and protect individuals and groups within our society.
