​At Rushton Primary School, we believe that every child has the potential to flourish. As a small village school at the heart of our community, we are committed to creating a nurturing, inspiring and ambitious environment where children feel safe, valued and confident to be themselves.

 

We aim to develop happy, resilient and responsible learners who are equipped with the knowledge, skills and character to succeed in an ever-changing world. By working in partnership with families and the wider community, we encourage every child to dream big, embrace challenge and make a positive difference to the lives of others.

 

Together, we grow, achieve and shine.

​

Our school is guided by three fundamental values that shape everything we do:

 

Courage

 

We encourage children to:

​

Courage helps our pupils become confident individuals who are ready to embrace new opportunities.

Responsibility

 

We believe every child should:

• Take pride in their learning.

• Care for themselves, others and the environment.

• Make positive choices.

• Contribute to the school and wider community.

​

By developing responsibility, we help children understand the importance of kindness, honesty and respect.

​

Aspiration

 

We inspire our pupils to:

• Aim high and achieve their personal best.

• Develop a love of learning.

• Explore their talents and interests.

• Believe that hard work and determination lead to success.

 

Aspiration encourages every child to look forward with confidence and ambition.

• High expectations, enabling all pupils to achieve their full potential.

• Wellbeing, recognising that happy children learn best.

​

What This Looks Like in Practice

 

We strive to ensure that every child will:

• Feel safe, happy and cared for.

• Develop resilience and independence.

• Enjoy a rich and engaging curriculum.

• Learn to work collaboratively and respectfully.

• Build confidence through new experiences.
