At The Orchards Primary Academy, our vision is simple: to ensure every child receives a high-quality learning experience, in every classroom, in every lesson, every day. It is our intent that by the time our young people leave our care, they will be well-equipped with the knowledge and skills to become successful and self-sufficient learners within secondary education and beyond; but to also make valuable and meaningful contributions to their communities and the wider world. We want our young people to be thriving and feel safe in our school; extending their learning, while consumed in challenge within our broad,
balanced and experience-rich curriculum.

Our curriculum is planned and sequenced so that skills and knowledge is built upon. Our academic learning is underpinned by a strong emphasis on personal development so that our young people maintain and develop healthy relationships while understanding the true meaning of kindness, compassion and care. We often and regularly say to our young people, “In a world where you can be anything, be kind.”, something the school team also uphold as a value close to our hearts. Our young people have ample opportunities to develop responsibility and leadership where they learn a strong sense of self so that they understand their place in the world.

As a school, we strive for the highest quality output in lessons to gain the best possible outcomes in assessment conditions- through hard work, exemplary behaviour for learning and a love for challenge- where practise makes permanent!

Please note: parents have the right to withdraw their children from religious education and/or collective worship – DfE Guidance.
