Forward Into The Future: Achievement, Determination, Happiness, and Respect The Friars Primary School will take children forward into the future by promoting high levels of achievement, respecting and meeting their unique academic, social and emotional needs so all children are prepared for the next stage of their education and life in modern Britain.
Here at the Friars, we have high expectations and our core values are fundamental in everything that we do. Respect Every person deserves to be respected and feel valued and therefore we always speak and act in a respectful way. Our staff and children demonstrate mutual respect and foster positive relationships based around honesty and trust.
Determination We are determined to succeed in everything that we do and do not believe in giving up. Our children are taught that success is a symptom of hard work and determination, and out staff are determined to provide the absolute best for our children. Achievement Here at The Friars, we love to do well.
We recognise that achievements can be different for different people but celebrate all achievements, whether academic, sporting or personal.
