Headteacher's Welcome at Crown Wood, we have high expectations in all areas, especially behaviour and attainment. We strongly believe being prepared to learn from mistakes, effort, purposeful practice and acting on feedback leads to success and not innate talent or ability.
We are committed to ensuring your children not only have a solid grounding in English and Mathematics, but also the skills, values and attitudes they need to be successful in their next stage of education and beyond. These include being aspirational, resilience, an ability to work collaboratively, curiosity and having a go for it attitude.
At Crown Wood, we know every child is unique; with their own strengths and interests. We offer many opportunities for children to discover and develop their personal, social, moral and spiritual identities. We aim to provide a safe and stimulating learning environment which encourages pupils to grow and develop in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
We believe that education is a shared partnership between children, parents and teachers; by working together we can achieve a great deal more. We encourage parents and carers to become fully involved in their child's learning and also in the life of the school.
