Our School

The Furzedown team (staff, governors) are united in our fundamental aim to make our school one where children come happily and learn willingly, and to give children a solid and secure foundation.

We aim to encourage:

• the full development of all children enabling them to reach their full potential
• the provision of a curriculum, which is broad, balanced and relevant to the individual child
• the provision of an environment based on trust, dignity, respect, self-control, consideration and sharing

Children will have a firm foundation because they:

• are secure and happy
• have a positive self-image
• are given equality of opportunity
• have positive relationships with peers and adults
• are self motivated and involved in their own learning

Teachers will:

• provide a stimulating and challenging environment
• be sensitive to individuals
• adopt a range of appropriate teaching styles
• value direct experience
