Ethos

High Quality Teaching and Learning for all…

At Blaydon West Primary School we strive to provide high quality teaching and learning for all within a supportive, stimulating and happy environment, enabling everyone to achieve their full potential, both academically and personally.

We aim to promote the intellectual, physical, personal, social, emotional, spiritual, moral and cultural development of all pupils and prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life.

In partnership with parents and carers we aim to help and encourage our pupils to:

• Develop lively, enquiring minds, with the ability to question and debate rationally.
• Develop the essential learning skills of literacy, numeracy and information and communication technology.
• Acquire, develop and apply a broad range of knowledge, understanding and skills relevant to subsequent stages in their education, adult life and work.
• Have ambitions and aspirations informed by their understanding of the wider world.
• Think creatively and critically, solve problems and develop enterprise.
• Make informed choices for a safe, healthy and active lifestyle.
• Develop positive self-esteem, confidence and emotional well-being.
• Develop integrity and autonomy to become responsible and caring citizens.
• Value and respect the environment in which they live.
• Be respectful of religious and moral values and tolerant of races and religions.
