From the Brickhill Primary School
The core purpose of Brickhill Primary School is to provide all our children with a safe, supportive, positive and effective learning environment which is based firmly on the values of trust, kindness, respect, acceptance and tolerance of other people's views, beliefs and opinions. By offering a broad and balanced curriculum that places a focus on attaining the highest standards of achievement and rates of progress as well as exhibiting exemplary standards of behaviour and courtesy, we hope to help our kids develop their academic, social, spiritual, emotional, moral, and physical education. In giving every child an equality of opportunity and respect, and in valuing every child as an individual, we aim to foster a positive approach to learning which promotes the qualities of motivation, initiative, independence and endeavour. If such goals are to be successfully and regularly attained, we think students, parents, and the school must work together. Additionally, such a partnership needs to reach out to the larger community in order to include and welcome all the people and organisations that are interested in and supportive of our school.
