THE ALLENTON WAY​

​

Our ethos is to educate the whole child; academically, socially and emotionally.  A child's journey through our school will:​

​

• develop their academic knowledge and understanding; ​

• raise their aspirations;​

• provide access to a wide range of experiences; ​

• broaden their understanding of the world around them;​

• have a positive impact on their future. ​

• ​

We foster lifelong learning skills through our four Learning Superheroes: ​

• Resilience, ​

• Reflectiveness​

• Resourcefulness​

• Reciprocity.​

These equip children to learn effectively, gain independence and overcome challenges.​

​

Their time in school will enhance their lives and support them to become citizens who contribute positively to their community and the wider world. ​

Learning

At Allenton Primary School, we recognise that school is a place to develop all aspects of a child.  Quality first teaching is central to this.  The principles below detail how this is achieved.​

We: ​

• Set high expectations and give the learner confidence to succeed; ​

• Develop the whole child; ​

• Develop the learner’s thinking skills and personal qualities; ​

• Establish what learners already know, planning and adapting from this point; ​

• Ensure that children are aware of progressive steps to improve their work; ​

• Structure and pace learning experiences to make them challenging yet accessible; ​

• Inspire learning through passion for the subject; ​

• Ensure pupils understand the purpose for learning the subject; ​

​

To ensure explicit teaching and modelling of these strategies, the Learning Superheroes are embedded within our teaching and learning sequences and strategies.
