Paddocks Primary School is a place where everyone is valued and cared for as an individual, their diversity and views are respected and where children are at the centre of all we do.
We allow the uniqueness in each individual to flourish through the following ways: - a happy, safe and stimulating environment where everyone can meet their personal goals and full potential: intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally, morally and spiritually - a positive community ethos where we listen, engage and nurture a can-do attitude in order to prepare all learners for their future lives - enabling enjoyable learning within the context of a rapidly changing technological society Our values were put together through collaboration between the children in the school council, our Parent's Forum, staff and governors.
