“Believe and Achieve!”
Dear Parents and Carers,
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We hope you find it a useful source of information and that it gives a good insight into our busy and friendly school.
Archibald Primary School, part of Endeavour Academies, is proud to be an inclusive place for children to learn. Pupils in our school come from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures to share new experiences and learn from each other. Our aim is that all of our children feel welcomed, happy and fulfilled; recognising that they are all different and that these differences create opportunities for adults and children alike to learn more about themselves and each other.
Helping children in developing good attitudes and values is a key feature of our work. We firmly believe that everyone can achieve their best and are committed to our ‘I can do it!’ culture. We believe teaching and learning at Archibald to be outstanding and are very proud of our school, curriculum and results. Continual improvement in our performance through working closely with a range of partner organisations so that we can offer our pupils the very best educational experience possible is key to our success.
As parents, carers and other family members you are encouraged to take an active interest in your children’s education. We aim to keep you well informed about activities and events in the school so that you can share these experiences with your children. It is important children feel that their positive learning experience in school is reinforced at home and we aim to work in close partnership with you to achieve this.
We are very proud of our school and particularly of our children, who are its most effective ambassadors.
If you want to find out more about our fantastic school please look on the website and feel free to contact the school reception for further information.
Mrs A Jefferies,
Headteacher
The key components of our school ethos are:
In our school we aim to understand and meet the needs of the individual child. In order to do so, the school provides a happy, safe, secure and intellectually stimulating environment where the children are not merely given the opportunity to reach their full potential, but are expected to do so.
The children of Archibald Primary School are encouraged to give of their best by putting the emphasis on personal achievement.
In return we adopt a philosophy of continuous improvement in every aspect of the school’s work and life – always placing the children’s work at the centre of the learning process.
Our most recent OfSTED inspection was in May 2017.
