Visions and Values | Alderman Payne Primary School

Visions and Values

Alderman Payne is an inclusive rural school which has a family feel. We pride ourselves on building relationships with the local community. We develop children's pride in their local area, as well as developing the appreciation of the wider world. We try hard to communicate effectively with parents and to work in partnership with them to support their children to achieve their personal best.

The Aims and Values of Our School

At Alderman Payne Primary School we support the 5 outcomes of Every Child Matters. These are;

Enjoy and achieve

Through our linked curriculum, we develop learners who are resistant, independent, enthusiastic and determined to improve. We teach our children that a mistake is the opportunity to learn something new. We expect all children to achieve their personal best irrespective of their starting point and celebrate this individual success.

Make a positive contribution

Our children develop pride in themselves, their family, their school and their community. We teach them to value themselves and others, to be open minded, and to have the confidence to participate fully in the wider world.

Stay safe

We teach our children to solve problems and recognise and assess risks, to learn to make good choices and understanding the consequences of their actions as the children progress throughout the school. We seek to develop their understanding of potential risks in the wider world and strategies to stay safe.

Be Healthy

Our children learn about the importance of good health and physical activity; how to respect themselves and others, and to make healthy lifestyle choices.

Achieve social & economic well being

We seek to develop interpersonal skills, the ability to manage change, and a good work ethos to ensure our children achieve social & economic well being as adults, and continue with their life long learning.

Developing a love of learning and confidence underpins all that we do in order that our children ultimately become responsible, thinking citizens in adult life.
