iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Shortbrook Primary School Our Vision Every child at Shortbrook Primary School is unique and our vision in 'shaping our children into 21st century citizens, who will be equipped with the vocabulary, knowledge and skills to be successful in life', is driven by strong research and knowledge of individual needs.
In partnership with parents and the community, our school ethos and ambitious curriculum is also driven by the following values: We take care of ourselves - mind and body We are respectful and look after each other We aim high and like a challenge We are resilient and never stop trying We can work independently and as part of a team We are confident and considerate communicators We pride ourselves on a strong inclusive ethos, where every child is special and valued.
It is our belief that every child will have the opportunity to reach their full potential and develop as self-learners, critical thinkers and be independently minded.
This will be achieved through the nurture of dedicated staff, the sustenance of a safe and happy environment and the delivery of a creative and exceptional curriculum, which inspires and motivates all our children. Our children will leave Shortbrook happy with who they are, confident in their abilities, polite and articulate, and ambitious for their future growth.
