At Tewkesbury C of E, we understand that children learn best in an environment where they have positive relationships with caring adults, where they feel safe, and where they feel free to explore and learn.
We also know that children learn best when they are exposed to real life experiences and opportunities and, through our REAL curriculum, we give the children those Wow moments every single day.
But we don't just limit this to the classrooms, during lunchtimes, our childrens' experiences are further enriched through our 'Platinum Standard' OPAL play, where they are free to build dens in the woods, climb trees, play in our giant sand pit, scoot around the playground, use our mud kitchens or develop their imaginations in a million other ways.
Here at C of E, we take pride in teaching the children the important values of Love, Hope, Peace, Faith, Community, Respect and Forgiveness and, along with our three Golden Rules; Be Ready, Be Safe and Be Respectful, we celebrate these values each and everyday.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
