About

'' Varna is special because the teachers teach with so much passion and kindness. #TeamVarna'' The governors, parents, staff and pupils believe that Varna Community Primary School is: PROMOTION of BRITISH VALUES at Varna Community Primary School we believe that, through high quality Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) provision and underlying ethos of the school, all children achieve their full potential as well as developing a full understanding of their role within their community.

This ultimately means that our children leave the school at the end of Year 6 as well-rounded young people who are ready to make the transition to secondary school. Part of our role in this preparation is ensuring that we promote and reinforce key values to our students.

These include: The government set out its definition of British Values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy and considered them to be democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs. At Varna we feel these values sit well with our own key values and are consistently reinforced and respected within our school community.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
