From the Abbeymead Primary School
The mission statement for Abbeymead will direct future growth. We think it is our duty to impart on our kids the knowledge and abilities they will need to prosper in life. Realizing potential involves making sure that each child completes the curriculum to the best of their ability in English, math, and other subjects. Respect is one of the key outcomes of our behavioural programme, which teaches our kids the importance of empathy and respect for others. Two main goals are addressed by taking responsibility: teaching our kids how to be useful, content community members, and making sure they learn how to be proactive, positive persons. Actively promoting also include confronting students, teachers, or parents who express viewpoints in opposition to core British Values, particularly "extreme" viewpoints. Respect and tolerance are ingrained in every aspect of school life at Abbeymead. This fosters an environment where students feel comfortable and secure and encourages the realisation of potential. The school is driven in large part by student voice, and several levels of school regulations are considered as the bedrock upon which this might be accomplished. The following list of initiatives demonstrates our dedication to British values.
