We want every child to be healthy, both physically and emotionally. At Loxwood, we encourage our children, staff and governors to believe in a growth mindset approach. We believe that every day is a learning opportunity and mistakes aid learning.
Anyone who has never made a mistake, has never tried something new Albert Einstein We encourage our children to be creative and curious learners, and to discover their own interests and passions.
We believe that our curriculum should be exciting, purposeful and fun and we have spent time as a teaching community, creating a teaching and learning provision that enables every child to thrive. Our core values are Kindness, Respect, Independence, Resilience and Curiosity.
