Our aims, vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.

Our School Vision

At Bill Quay Primary School, we provide an exciting and challenging environment in which all children and staff are given opportunities to develop to their best ability: academically, socially, spiritually and morally.

Working in partnership with parents and the community in an atmosphere of mutual trust, we recognise and provide for the rights of our pupils, encouraging them to have respect for themselves and others, and to develop as responsible members of our global society.
This is facilitated through a broad, exciting and enriched curriculum, equipping and developing our pupils as independent, life-long learners.

Aims of the School

Bill Quay Primary School aims to:

• Value every individual and to maximise the opportunities for his/her intellectual, moral, spiritual, physical, aesthetic and social development;
• Help pupils to develop lively, enquiring minds, the ability to take risks, to question and debate rationally and to apply themselves successfully to tasks;
• Create an interesting and stimulating environment, which reflects our vision and promotes a sense of community as well as an individual sense of self-worth.

School Values

We have developed our school values in collaboration with our children, staff and governors based on the overarching value of RESPECT:

     Resilience

     Empathy

     Sincerity

     Potential

     Equality

    Community

    Teamwork

We embed these core values through our rich and varied curriculum so that our children leave us with the characteristics that will support them on their life-long learning journey. In a world that is forever changing, our aim is that pupils will be able to actively embrace all future challenges with confidence and success.

We encourage our children to be creative, unique, open-minded and independent individuals, respectful of themselves and of others in our school, our local community and the wider world.  We aim to nurture our children on their journey through life so they can grow into safe, caring, democratic, responsible and tolerant adults who make a positive difference to British Society and to the world.

Our school reflects British values in all that we do and our full British Values Statement can be read below.
