Little Melton Primary School aims to provide all children with an education which will develop their full potential, so that each may ultimately lead a rich and satisfying life and contribute warmly to society. Crucially, children will develop to become independent and resilient learners, recognising and overcoming barriers to achieve.
We aim to create an environment which is purposeful, friendly, creative, and co-operative, where each child's individual abilities are maximised and where they grow to appreciate the pleasure of learning in its widest sense and to care for others in their school and wider community.
