Our Vision, Aims & Values

Our Vision

Alford Primary School is a supportive and inclusive learning community, which strives to tailor its curriculum to meet the needs of all pupils. We consider the ‘whole child’ in our provision, nurturing the social and emotional well-being of our pupils.

Our ambitious vision for all students drives our wide and varied curriculum. We value diversity and promote a culture of respect and understanding. We are a school with an inspiring curriculum, high quality teaching and learning, excellent opportunities for personal development, and a varied programme of extra-curricular opportunities. We seek to nurture aspiration and promote excellence in all our pupils and staff, driven by the belief that every child can achieve, and no child is left behind.

Our pupils progress through school with a sense of belonging. They communicate effectively with others, and display confidence in their abilities. They have the skills and knowledge to be successful in their future education, and the capability to adapt to the rich diversity of Britain today. Our pupils demonstrate an inherent kindness and consideration for those around them, both in their local community and in the wider world.

Our Aims

Learn Well

Through a rich and exciting creative curriculum, extra-curricular activities and close relationships with other local schools, we are able to provide a high quality education which meets the interests and needs of each individual child.

Have Fun

One of our School rules is to be happy and have fun. We believe children learn best when they are happy and engaged in a stimulating and relevant curriculum.

Be Safe

Children have a voice in our School. We encourage them to tell us if they are unhappy about anything or if anything makes them feel unsafe. This is embedded through assemblies, PSHE lessons and is part of our School ethos. We regularly survey our children to ensure that they feel safe.

Our Values

Parent Feedback

Your views about our school are important to us. If you are a registered parent/carer of a pupil at Alford Primary School you can share your views by completing Ofsted's online survey, Parent View.

We send out our Parental Questionnaire annually and always get an overwhelmingly positive response. Last year from the many returns we received nearly 100% were either 'strongly agree' or 'agree', there were very few 'neither' responses and this reflected the fact that parents had no experience of the issue covered in the question.
