On behalf of the children, staff and Governors, I would like to warmly welcome you to Henry Fawcett Primary School and Children's Centre. Our values are founded on the belief that every child deserves the very best start in life, that they are exposed to outstanding educational opportunities and leave us with a thirst for lifelong learning.
Our motto is Yes We Can and is the tangible belief and centre of everything we do. We are relentless in our ambition to excel, inspire minds, exceed expectations and provide an education for an exciting future in a rapidly changing world. We take pride in our diverse community and value every child as an individual, working closely with parents and families.
Our aim is an inspirational school creating good people in an atmosphere that promotes confidence, high academic achievement, physical health and emotional well-being. We strongly believe education is a partnership between the school, the child and their family.
