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
