Here at Coit Primary School, our aim is quite simply to give every single child the opportunity to develop their full potential. We do this by ensuring the children are immersed in an intelligent, nurturing and stimulating environment.
We want our children to become resilient and independent so that they are more comfortable with accepting challenges which become progressively more demanding as they move through school. Well-being is the key to happiness and so we supply our children with a wide range of opportunities and memorable experiences.
Finding a passion for learning and becoming experts in an area of choice is positively encouraged. Ensuring children leave Coit numerate and literate is a non-negotiable and one which the staff work very hard to achieve. Our staff are friendly, well-trained and enthusiastic. Our children-quite delightful!
A positive and supportive working partnership with parents is essential if children are to achieve their academic potential. Thus, parents are very much encouraged to visit as often as possible, formally and informally, so they can see for themselves what we do.
