Our Mission Statement We want you to love your learning and be interested in what you do at school and beyond. We want you to learn to be creative and independent and to be resilient in everything you do – even if you fail! In our schools, we have very high expectations of you all. We all want you to be able to do and achieve your very, very best.
We want everyone to be included, respected and safe. We really value technology and we want you to grow up ready for a world full of technology – some of which hasn't been invented yet – but we want you to know how to be ready! Our world is very diverse and we want you to love being part of this world. You could live or work anywhere in the world and communicate with anyone!
We want you, your family, your friends and our communities to all work and learn together to become the best that we can all be. Registered Office: Tranmoor Primary School, Tranmoor Lane Armthorpe, Doncaster, DN3 3DB
