Intro

Dear Parents and Carers

The purpose of this prospectus is to help you to find out more about life and learning at Buckfastleigh Primary school.

At Buckfastleigh Primary School we have a clear understanding of how children learn and we continually strive to provide the best possible conditions to facilitate this. We acknowledge that we live in a changing world and that we need to prepare our children for tomorrow’s needs. We aim to bring learning alive, making it exciting and stimulating. We want to give our children a thirst for learning that continues with them throughout their lives.

We acknowledge the importance of developing a caring and stimulating environment, where children’s high self-esteem enables them to take risks in learning and to learn confidently through their mistakes. We encourage children to ask questions and for them to learn how to solve challenges and problems.

We make it our business to strive for excellence, empowering children to be happy and responsive. Children are challenged within the delivery of an enriched, creative and linked curriculum. We are an inclusive school that develops independence, responsibility, kindness and good manners through a detailed and extensive personal, social and health education programme.

The best way to understand our school aims and values is to make an appointment and visit the school ‘in action’. This would give first hand knowledge and understanding of what we are aiming for and achieving and of the many facilities on offer. Please make an appointment to come and experience the environment in which our children learn, so that we can answer any questions you may have.

We hope that this will be the beginning of a long and successful home-school partnership between us. Working closely with parents is essential for the success of each child.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Buckfastleigh Primary School.
