Welcome

I am absolutely thrilled to be the Headteacher of Flanderwell Primary School.

We are an outstanding school however we are extremely ambitious for everyone in our community and look for ways to continually develop and improve the educational provision we provide for our fabulous children.

We feel confident that we can move our school forward to being a world class provision over the next few years. We want to ensure that all our families are provided with the best education possible for their children.

Our potential to be a world class school comes from our amazing children, our committed staff, our inclusive and caring community and our committed and aspirational parents.

All of these factors make Flanderwell a fabulous learning community to belong to.

Our vision is to:

… provide an environment where ‘every child’ grows, thrives and is prepared for life in the modern world and feels safe, happy and confident.

…ensure that ‘every minute’ of our time is used well to ensure our pupils have the best possible chances of success during their time with us.

…provide an engaging and relevant curriculum which sets down the foundations for ‘every hope’ and aspiration a child may have.

We aim that:

All children will learn in a safe, nurturing, inclusive environment which engages all and enables all to achieve great outcomes.

All children are challenged, inspired, and supported as individuals to grow intellectually, personally and spiritually, and achieve their best.

All children will experience a fun, purposeful, balanced curriculum which inspires and promotes independence, and fosters individuality by encouraging all talents and abilities.

All children will develop skills within and beyond the curriculum, so that they have the knowledge, self-confidence and freedom to become life-long learners with an inquisitive, 'have-a go' mentality.

All children will achieve their full potential with a desire and determination to be their very best in all they do through committed, high-quality teaching.

All children will learn to communicate their views, thoughts and feelings effectively both verbally and non-verbally.

All children will be supported to take responsibility for their actions and show respect and tolerance for each other and the wider community whilst celebrating and promoting diversity.

All children show kindness and compassion and recognise the goodness in everyone, make a positive contribution to their community and develop their own spiritual understanding.

A Rights Respecting School

We are a rights-respecting school where children's rights are taught, learned, and lived daily. We aim to improve student well-being and develop them into active, responsible global citizens who understand their rights and the rights of others. To do this, we teach the children about their rights, fostering a positive and respectful school culture, and empowering children to participate in school decision-making.

Values

Being a rights respecting school is built around our values of respect, aspiration, inclusion, kindness and compassion and these values lie at the heart of everything we do. These values support our children to develop into lifelong learners who are resilient, socially skilled, and successful in all aspects of their lives.

‘Respect, Aspiration, Inclusion, Kindness and Compassion’

Our Ethos

We are committed to developing the 'whole child'. We place equal importance on academic and personal development to enable all children to thrive and flourish when they enter secondary education. We provide the children with an ambitious, broad and balanced curriculum which is adapted to meet their needs and this is delivered to the children through high quality, precise teaching. Alongside this, an emphasis on social play, pastoral support, a calm lunchtime experience, assemblies, sport and opportunities for our children to perform and showcase their talents are embedded to give the children a holistic educational experience.

Teamwork

We are absolutely committed to working in partnership with our parents and our community and have strong relationships within the Rotherham locality and other DSAT schools.

We cannot achieve what we want to achieve without the help and support of our parents, carers and families. We recognise that all parents/carers are the primary educators of their children.

The aspect that makes our school most special is the children. They are warm, welcoming and aspirational. They love to learn and display a fabulous attitude to school life, entering school each day with a beaming smile.

The school has a leadership and staff team who are passionate about education, who in partnership with the Local School Board and Trust leaders, are all committed to securing the best standards possible for the school. Staff, our local school board and the trust as a whole are here to help all our children and parents.
