Our School Principles

At Jacksdale Primary School, we believe in three key principles:

Kind                Respectful              Safe

These principles underpin all other behaviour expectations, and are embedded in the ethos of the school. They are designed to be memorable and simple, whilst keeping in line with the statutory guidelines of Keeping Children Safe in Education (2024).

Safeguarding children underpins everything we do and it is embedded in everything that we expect from staff, children and families.  We are committed to ensuring that our children develop awareness and knowledge of how to keep themselves and others safe wherever they are and whatever age they are. At Jacksdale Primary & Nursery School we strive to raise awareness of safeguarding with all stakeholders - children, families, staff, governors and visitors and adhere to our guidance and procedures as outlined in our school policies.

Our visions and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.

Every individual in Jacksdale Primary and Nursery School is valued and makes a valuable contribution to school life so that they are the very best that they can be.

We aim to:

* Motivate and inspire children to have a love of learning

* Develop learners and leaders of the future

* Equip children to meet the changes and challenges in their life ahead

* Make sure that every child reaches their full potential

* To empower children to learn, use and value knowledge and skills that will support them, as life-long learners

To ensure that children practise the core values of the school and wider world:

respect, tolerance, inclusion, and excellence.
