From the Cookridge Primary School
Children are born with a natural curiosity and a desire to learn. It is an eagerness to explore, discover and figure things out. The more explorative a child is, the more they learn. Nurturing this curiosity is one of the most important ways you can help children to become lifelong learners. Cookridge Primary School recognises this innate desire to learn, creating a learning provision that cherishes each child as an individual, with their own special talents, interests, characteristics and part to play in society. As a school, we welcome families from diverse faiths and cultures, and work with them and the local community to provide the very best for any child. In partnership with parents, we aim to educate children who are resilient, respectful, and able to love and care for others and see learning as an exciting, challenging and integral part of life. We want our children to aim high with a tradition of pride in what they and others do, creating a school community that is happy, caring and one that moulds our future society into one to be proud of. We are passionate about making a difference every day and believe that our children should be at the heart of everything we do. The environment and curriculum we provide creates learning that is fun, active and personalised, inspiring all to achieve their very best. Cookridge Primary School does this by creating an inclusive climate of challenge for our children and staff in which it is safe to make mistakes secure in the knowledge that we will support
