Our Aims

At Curzon C of E Combined School, we want to maintain the ethos whereby all those involved children, parents, teachers, and governors are continually able to learn and develop. We want to build trust in each other so that we all feel secure enough to take risks, make mistakes and cope with challenge.

To achieve this we aim to:

• Enable children to listen, read widely and to use spoken and written language and numbers effectively.
  
  
• Provide the children with equal access to a broad, balanced curriculum which will enable them to develop the knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes appropriate to their age and ability as well as being relevant to their lives in a rapidly changing world.
  
  
• Provide a happy, caring and supportive atmosphere that is sensitive to the needs of all and where teachers and children recognize the value of both effort and achievement.
  
  
• Help children develop respect for and acceptance of religions and values of other cultures and groups irrespective of gender, religion, disability, race or cultural background.
  
  
• Help children care for the world in which they live and understand the inter-dependence of the environment, wildlife, individuals, groups and nations.
  
  
• Promote a love of learning so that children can achieve personal fulfillment at every stage of their development.
  
  
• Help children appreciate their heritage, human achievements and aspirations, both past and present.
  
  
• Encourage children to think for themselves, take initiative and develop self-confidence.
  
  
• Foster sense of responsibility by offering choices and encouraging decision making skills appropriate to the child?s stage of development.
  
  
• Help children achievement a substantial amount of independence, self-discipline and self-esteem in preparation for the next phase of their life.
  
  
• Help children to develop socially, enabling them to contribute both as an individual and as a team member and thereby to develop an appreciation of the value of participation and the efforts of others.
  
  
• Help children to enjoy and apply themselves to a variety of tasks and physical skills and develop an appreciation of non-materialistic pursuits.
  
  
• Provide opportunities where children can experience calm reflection, silence and tranquility.
