Leconfield Primary School
Values and Ethos
At Leconfield, our vision is to provide a safe, caring and inspiring environment where children are supported, challenged, and valued personally and academically so they can be the best they can be.
We are:
- Respectful – everyone is valued and has a place in our community. We provide a friendly and inclusive environment where quality relationships are important. We value and respect individuals.
- Open Minded – our minds are always open to new experiences and we prepare children for the challenges and opportunities of adulthood in a changing world
- Curious – we encourage and enable everyone to experience success and help our children to develop lively, enquiring, imaginative and creative minds through our broad and exciting curriculum
- Kind – we are kind to others, ourselves and our surroundings. We are respectful of everyone. We take responsibility for our role in the world around us
