Pinkwell Primary School

As a school we have four core values which underpin all of the work that we do here. Respect is one of our values because we treat each other with kindness and dignity at this school. Resilience means that our children are taught that it is good to make mistakes, we never give up and overcome adversity. Collaboration is important to our school community, we work together as a team and learn from each other. Finally, we have empathy as one of our values because our children and staff care for each other and understand what it is like to walk in someone else's shoes. These values are a crucial part of our children's personal development journey through Pinkwell, we believe strongly that school is a place where children should learn knowledge and skills but also to grow into the young adults they want to be.

Our distinctive features include a strong inclusive ethos where children are kept at the heart of all we do. Our vision statement of “Inspire, Motivate, Succeed” comes to life through our child centred approach to teaching and learning which encourages and supports children to become enthusiastic, positive and resilient learners.

We have a clear focus on raising standards in all aspects of the curriculum by inspiring children in their learning whilst also ensuring children develop the personal and social skills they need to be successful in life. We are also going through a really exciting stage in our school’s development as we consider further development of our curriculum where skills, knowledge and enjoyment are at the heart of all we do.

Visitors to the school comment on the warm, positive and family atmosphere and take pleasure from the children’s enthusiasm for learning, their excellent behaviour and friendliness.

We have an excellent team of experienced staff who are fully committed to working in partnership with families and the local community to ensure that every child in the school is happy, safe, secure and achieves success in both their learning and personal achievements.

We believe full partnership with all members of our community is the best way to ensure success for our children and therefore encourage others to engage in school life. For parents, there are a range of opportunities for you to get involved in including parent workshops, membership of the Friends of Pinkwell, attending performances, volunteering in school and accompanying classes on school trips. We have already developed close links with many members of the local community but always welcome more. Please do let us know if you are interested in supporting our children’s learning!

This is an exciting time for the school as we continue to implement the many changes taking place across the educational landscape. Visits to the school are encouraged. Please contact the school office to arrange an appointment.
