Thomas A'Becket Infant School

In order to support this we aim to:

• Provide a happy and secure environment that is both stimulating and responsive to the needs of each child.

• Encourage each child's natural sense of curiosity, enquiry and purpose and to develop the ability to produce high quality pieces of work, both independently and collaboratively.

• Provide a structured progression of skills, concepts and experience within each curriculum area that is appropriate to each child’s stage of development.

• Encourage each child to become enthusiastic, confident and independent life-long learners

• Encourage the development of a caring and considerate attitude so that each child understands and appreciates the needs and feelings of others.

• Establish an effective partnership between home and school that actively encourages parents to be involved in their child's learning.

• Liaise with partners within the locality and wider community to promote positive continuity, progression and good communication for the mutual benefit of all. This also supports our children in becoming valuable citizens in the future.

• Create an ethos in which all staff members feel valued as successful team members whose skills and talents are used effectively and celebrated.

• Provide for and encourage the professional development of our staff.

• All staff at Thomas A'Becket Infant School work together to develop a rich learning environment that enables the children to thrive whilst being ‘Safe’ and ‘Kind'.
