🌍 Diversity: We respect and celebrate what makes us all unique. 🤝 Inclusivity: We make sure everyone feels welcome and can take part. 🌟 Aspiration: We aim high, work hard and keep improving. These Foundations form the strong base our schools are built on. They guide how we speak, act and learn — in the classroom, on the playground and beyond.
We hope that all children, parents, carers, colleagues and friends will enjoy the warm and friendly atmosphere at Alfred Sutton Primary School. It is our firm belief that if parents positively support their child's education and attendance at school, the very best outcome can be achieved for every pupil.
We therefore do everything possible to work in productive partnership with parents, including encouraging open dialogue and warmly welcoming volunteer helpers. Workshop for Parents on 27/02/26 run by NHS
