From the Thomlinson Junior School
At TJS, we take pride in being an inclusive community where all students are challenged, inspired, and motivated to become successful, self-assured, and compassionate adults.
Creating a warm, secure, and joyful learning environment where everyone is valued and heard; a place where we take pride in who we are and what we have accomplished; and a place where children may study with confidence and success.
TJS promotes respect for the core British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and respect for one another as well as tolerance for people of all religions and beliefs.
We make sure that partisan political ideas are not promoted when teaching any topic at the school, and when political concerns are brought to the notice of the students, we take reasonable, doable steps to provide a fair presentation of competing viewpoints.
Extremist beliefs of any kind, whether they come from students, staff, adults who visit, governors, or other internal sources, have no place in our school.
Every time a student, member of staff, visitor, or parent exhibits prejudice, discrimination, or extremist ideas, including the use of insulting language, it will be challenged and, when necessary, dealt with.
We encourage a climate in which students are content, think they can succeed, take ownership of their education, and grow into independent learners.
All of our kids should grow up to be joyful, self-assured, kind people who achieve personal accomplishment and cultivate a lifelong love of learning.
