“Teach a child things that will be worth knowing as an adult; and having known as a child, make a person a better adult.”
Jerome Bruner
At Lingfield we believe in developing the whole child, making sure they are fully equipped to continue their learning journey in future years and make a positive contribution to society. Our values and aims underpin this belief.
- All children are encouraged to achieve to their full potential within a broad and balanced curriculum. We promote the development of positive attitudes towards learning and encourage independence and self-motivation.
- We build up relationships of trust, support and respect for everyone involved in school life. There is an emphasis on adaptability, co-operation and consideration for others.
- We promote consistency of behaviour through high expectations and shared values, emphasising an understanding of what is right and wrong.
- We provide opportunities for physical development and promote an understanding of a healthy lifestyle. We encourage pupils to achieve their potential in a variety of physical activities and develop positive attitudes towards sport.
- We enable pupils to celebrate the rich diversity of cultural traditions in our world through developing tolerance and understanding.
- We create an atmosphere in which the children are given the opportunity to reflect on religious beliefs and values. Through the provision of extra curricular activities for older children we promote a positive ethos, to encourage a sense of community and to enhance relationships between children, staff and parents.
- At Lingfield we provide pupils with stimulating and varied surroundings in which they feel comfortable and happy to work.
