"Excellence and Enjoyment for Everyone"

Our vision at Alumwell Junior School is to create a happy, exciting, inspiring and safe community for every child. A community where our children can not only thrive academically but also develop their full potential on a personal level. 'Excellence and Enjoyment for Everyone' is always at the heart of what we do at Alumwell.

When asked what "Excellence and Enjoyment' means to them, our pupils responded with - 

'We believe that 'Excellence and Enjoyment for Everyone' means working hard to learn new things, being challenged and achieving your own goals. Letting your personality shine and being able to take away the mask of fear and reveal your true self. It is understanding that if you are struggling there are people there to help you and also having the confidence to be independent no matter where you have come from, no matter what race or skin colour. Above all enjoy yourself along the way by allowing yourself to have the freedom to be the person you are meant to be.' (Year 5 Pupils)

Our school values are key to creating our community: a community in which children are able fuel their imaginations and express themselves throughout all areas of school life.

• we are friendly, polite and caring,
• we are determined, we persevere and we are resilient,
• we have a voice and we listen to others,
• we work together
• we are always ready to learn.

Alongside our school's values we also promote 'British Values': Schools are required to provide for the spiritual, moral and cultural (SMSC) development of their pupils.  Part of this requirement means we actively promote fundamental British Values. Our school ethos of "Excellence and Enjoyment for Everyone" underpins our curriculum and the way we enrich our children's opportunities.
