School Ethos, vision, aims and values

At Mountfield Primary School we pride ourselves on offering a welcoming, friendly atmosphere with enthusiastic and motivated staff. This is achieved within a safe, pleasant, and stimulating environment. We offer an exciting learning experience using a wide range of teaching methods for all children; challenging and encouraging them to achieve the best of their abilities and reaching their highest goals.

We expect all pupils to leave Mountfield reaching their personal best in all areas of the curriculum, to have a positive attitude, a good set of morals and a desire to learn. This is achieved through very high standards of teaching, with highly trained and dedicated staff. Teaching is planned to meet the needs of each child so that every child can learn at his or her own level and rate. Work for individual children is set at a level that is appropriate for their ability and age. The curriculum incorporates lots of creative activities with children able to express themselves through drama and other such mediums. We believe praise, encouragement and incentives bring out the best in children. Children are enthusiastic about their lessons and consistently demonstrate excellent attitudes to learning.

The school encourages all staff, parents/carers and children to work together as a team. Our doors are always open for discussion and we welcome new ideas.
