About

At Coldean Primary School we are extremely proud of all of the staff's commitment to ensure that the children within our care receive quality provision. We recognise the importance of educating the whole child, building on their strengths and celebrating individual's achievements.

We have worked hard to create a school community where everyone can be happy, healthy and have a zest for learning. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive school. We respect the diversity of our community by accepting and learning from our differences. The positive relationships between staff (and indeed between staff and children) are fundamental to our success.

By working together to promote a sense of self-worth, we encourage self confidence, honesty and individual talents; establishing a sense of belonging and pride in our achievements. We promote fundamental British values through our spiritual, moral, social and cultural curriculum and our Golden Values .

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