Introduction
The Governing Board has given much thought to the school’s core purpose, vision and values. We’ve considered what is really important to us as a recently-amalgamated primary school.
After much thought, consultation, discussion and deliberation, the Governing Board has distilled the most important features into a summary document, and has also crafted some ambitious, forward-thinking principles which will shape the direction of the school over the coming years. We want to be the very best school we can be.
The summary, our foundation statement, is based around three key words which came out of the discussions and consultations – learning, character and community. These aspects are at the heart of Pinner Park Primary School.
Our renewed vision for Pinner Park reflects a passionate commitment to learning, recognition of the uniqueness of individual learners, understanding of the qualities - the inner resources – which enable us to be successful, and a desire to work in partnership with parents and the wider community.

What’s important to us
We work together, as a school community, to empower and inspire each and every child to be an outstanding student who enjoys learning, to develop character, and to become a respectful citizen who makes a positive impact.
Our key principles
Learning
- Each child makes sustained progress as a result of outstanding, motivating and inspirational teaching.
- Learning across the entire curriculum is highly valued and each subject and area of learning is treated as significant.
- Teachers plan challenging and enjoyable tasks based on accurate assessment of pupils’ prior skills, knowledge and understanding – supported by an outstanding, creative curriculum.
- Everyone is a learner – with opportunities for life-long learning. Continuous professional development of staff, rooted in research, is highly valued.
Character
- Our behaviour values form the basis of our approach to promoting positive behaviour and character: ready, respectful, safe and kind.
- As a ‘Rights Respecting School’ children’s rights are learned, understood and lived.
- Children are enthusiastic, happy, engaged, confident, courteous, resilient and interdependent. They are highly motivated to do their best and to be their best.
- Children learn to make good choices and to take responsibility for their actions. They are responsible citizens.
- Children feel safe, and know how to keep themselves safe.
Community
- Each child is significant; known, valued, respected and cherished.
- At the heart of our work is the belief that parents are key partners in their children’s education.
- The school is at the heart of the wider community, served by the community, and serving the community.
- Diversity is an integral part of our culture, and identity. The school is a fully inclusive, diverse community welcoming and celebrating all sections of the wider community. Equality is important to us.
- All members of the school community are responsible citizens of their local, national and global communities.
- Effective partnerships with other community organisations are formed and have a positive impact on the life of the school.
- Clear and effective communication enables every member of the community to be informed and to play their part.
