On behalf of everyone at Langwith Bassett, I would like to welcome you to our Academy. I am extremely proud to lead a caring, dedicated and enthusiastic team that is committed to children's well-being, achieving high standards and providing the very best opportunities for all in our care.
We believe that every child matters and work hard to create an environment here that nurtures independence, resilience and a desire to learn. Together, through a creative and varied curriculum, we strive to ensure that each child reaches their potential.
All children have talents and abilities to celebrate, and our role is to prepare children for future education; and to help them acquire the skills and enthusiasm needed to embrace the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.
Active Learners, Confident Communicators and Respectful Citizens We believe in Active Learning where children are engaged and are able to actively take part and contribute by talking about, sharing and demonstrating their own learning.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
