John Locke Academy

At John Locke Academy, we are creating a primary school that makes learning irresistible.

When visitors walk around the school we want them to feel the purposeful, excited buzz of children engrossed in their learning; to see teachers ensuring that children make the most of every learning opportunity and to meet parents who are proud of their children's achievements. ​Our aim is to provide an inclusive education that meets the needs of all pupils, whatever their starting point.

We believe that there is no reason for children not to fulfil their potential given the right curriculum, environment and support. The relationship between parents and the school is vital in ensuring that this potential is met. We aim to ensure that children feel safe and valued so they can work hard and play happily. Each child will have the opportunity to shine.

Our central value is kindness - kind words, kind hands, kind heart: a safe school. We do not tolerate discrimination or bullying of any sort. Diversity and difference are celebrated as much as the many things that make us the same. We seek to create a community that celebrates and welcomes all children and families.
