ethos
We are a thriving two-form entry school surrounded by lovely grounds. We aspire to provide an environment that is stimulating, challenging and a place where children feel it is safe to learn from their mistakes.
Our approach to learning is child-centred, inclusive and is focused on the development of the whole child, both socially and academically. We are incredibly proud to offer an enriching learning experience for the children through a broad and balanced curriculum. Our learning culture is one of pride, self-motivation and resilience. From their start in Reception, we encourage the children to develop enquiring minds with the independence and determination to succeed at all they set their minds to.
We want our children to be happy in their learning and to take pride in their achievements. We will ensure that our children are aware of the world in which they live and understand the need to play an active role within the local and wider community. We expect our children to make a positive contribution to the communities they are part of by being responsible, polite, compassionate and respectful.
We are exceptionally proud to have been awarded the Gold level of the National SMSC Quality Mark in June 2023. The report below has many positive comments. In summary, the report states, "There really are so many positive and creative initiatives at Allington with a vast array of opportunities and activities to enrich SMSC and the lives of your pupils. I congratulate you and everyone and the school community on the Gold standard of SMSC education that is afforded to your pupils."
