Welcome to Bent Primary’s website and thank you for taking the time to find out more about our school. We hope the following pages give you a wider appreciation of our school culture, ethos, educational practices, and priorities.

As outlined in our school vision, all staff are committed to providing excellent educational experiences for all our learners to enable them to reach their full potential within a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment.

Key to realising this vision, our values permeate across every aspect of the life of our school, giving our children a range of tools which enable them to be successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors, and responsible citizens.

Our values are as follows.

BELONG

We feel safe, included, and nurtured in our school. We value our community and understand the importance of working positively together. We are aware of our responsibility to be kind to each other.

RESPECT

We respect ourselves & each other and celebrate our differences. We use manners, empathy and understanding to communicate. Our voices are listened to, and ideas are valued.

PLAY

We are curious and investigate the world with wonder. Play helps us to be active and healthy. We develop our social, emotional, physical, and thinking skills through play.

SEEK TRUTH

We take responsibility for our actions and understand why honesty and courage are important. We seek meaning through our experiences which enrich our understanding of the world.

AIM HIGH

We take aim and notice our mistakes as these are valuable gifts which help us improve our skills and understanding of the world.

LEARN

We actively challenge ourselves to achieve and realise our potential. We embrace new experiences which allow us to transform what we know and do in the world.

PERSEVERE

We give every task we undertake our best effort, knowing that it builds self-confidence, resilience, and faith.

Furthermore, we understand the need to provide all our pupils with personalised health and wellbeing support. This has its foundations in our commitment to create inclusive classrooms which carefully consider physical and social environments, structures and routines, as well as focusing on the vital role of learner motivations and skills.
