Witton Gilbert Nursery

At Witton Gilbert Primary School, we are committed to providing a caring, inclusive and safe environment for all our children so they can learn and thrive.
We are committed to high quality teaching and learning, as well as providing a wide range of rich opportunities to support childrens personal, social and academic development.
We value childhood and the importance of play.
Childhood is the time for children to be in school and at play, to grow strong and confident with the love and encouragement of their family and an extended community of caring adults.
Respectful relationships are promoted in all areas of school life and with all members of our school community.
Good manners and polite, respectful behaviour is celebrated.
We value kindness and friendship which is demonstrated by both children and adults.
We seek to develop respect for our environment through our bespoke curriculum and planned activities.
Children are encouraged to value and care for the world around them.
At Witton Gilbert, we ensure that everyone is treated fairly and respectfully, whilst recognising that people have different needs; understanding that treating people equally does not always involve treating them the same.
We challenge prejudice and promote understanding in relation to people with disabilities and those of differing races, beliefs or religions, sexual orientation or gender.
We seek to promote respect and tolerance for difference and value diversity.
We adopt a growth mindset approach to school life, supporting children to understand that its important to work hard, persevere and demonstrate resilience to overcome problems.
Children need to understand the importance of failure and the ability to learn from this, which can help to develop their resilience in a wide range of situations.
This in turn, encourages children to develop creativity and curiosity.
There are many opportunities throughout the school day to co-operate and collaborate, in both formal and informal situations.
Talk partners and group work are regular features of lessons, with children sharing ideas, listening to the views of others and working together towards a common goal.
We emphasise the importance of team work in the classroom, on the sports field and in play.
Our community links help us to further collaborate and increase skills, knowledge and opportunities.
At Witton Gilbert Primary School, we aim to enable children to grow in confidence, curiosity and independence, with a positive mindset that enables them to try new things and reach for their goals.
To provide the highest possible standard of education through a focus on developing basic skills and an inspiring broad and balanced curriculum appropriate to each individual.
To develop co-operation, independence and resilience in order to provide children with the skills they need to live and work together, solve problems and be successful.
