Regents Park Community Primary School

Welcome to Regents Park Community Primary School. Our aim is to ensure that children at our school develop an enjoyment of learning and as such that they achieve to the best of their abilities in every area of school life. We aim to do this by providing the highest quality education for each and every child and in partnership with parents, family and the wider community.

The school was built in 1975 following the closure of the Dixon Road School and was designed as a two form entry school. To accommodate our growing numbers, we have undergone a major building and refurbishment programme. We are very pleased with the improvements to the building. Our aim is to provide a safe, secure building that is welcoming, bright and stimulating, encouraging children to share our high expectations.

Our school is a special place where children, parents, staff and governors work together in a supportive, caring, happy learning community. We take care to ensure that families and children receive a warm welcome and that all children make an excellent start to their education in a safe, secure, supportive environment. We aim to ensure that all children enjoy and achieve in all areas of their personal, social and academic education and are prepared to take their place in the Global Community in the future. Our school is a learning community where each individual works hard to achieve their very best. We positively promote lifelong learning and continually strive for excellence.

Our visions and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens. These are our school aims:

• To lead the school towards the creation of an environment where all stakeholders – pupils, staff, parents and governors develop high self-esteem, confidence and expectations which result in the highest possible standards of achievement.
• The school will provide high quality learning resources in a stimulating environment which celebrates success for everyone where all achievements are valued.
• The school recognises the entitlement of everyone to equal access to learning opportunities.
• The school is committed to a widely shared set of values that include equality, fairness, democracy, respect, tolerance of different faiths and other beliefs, the rule of law and transparency.
• The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We have an enthusiastic, committed staff team who work together to build a warm, caring and friendly place of learning. To help children make the best possible progress we have high staff to pupil ratios. We aim to ensure that children enjoy and achieve in all areas of their personal, social and academic education. The school has been an important focus in the community for many years. We are proud of this tradition and look forward to continuing partnerships between home, school and the community to support the learning and development of your child.

At Regents Park Community Primary School, we give all our pupils full access to the National Curriculum and we aim to ensure that all pupils achieve the highest academic and personal standards of which they are capable by providing them with challenges and the life skills that they need in order to take their place in society. We want all our pupils to succeed. We see the development of English, Mathematics, Science and I.C.T. as central to our curriculum work, balanced with the humanities and expressive arts. A range of planned extra-curricular activities will enrich the experiences of the children.

We strive to provide a curriculum that all pupils will find enjoyable with them understanding the relevance of their lessons. This can only be achieved by using the experience, enthusiasm and specialism of individual teachers who provide interesting, relevant, purposeful and differentiated lessons based on real-life experiences, wherever possible, in a structured well-ordered classroom environment.
