Ethos and Values

Grow. Achieve. Shine

These are much more than words or a motto. At Churchfield Primary School we enable all children to grow as independent learners, achieve more than they ever believe they could and shine as unique individuals. Our school is a very special place, having been the beating heart of our community for over 120 years, we respect the lessons of the past whilst looking to the difference we can make in the future. Preparing our pupils for life in an ever-changing world, developing curious, well-rounded individuals who are determined to succeed.

At Churchfield, we have one Golden Rule – ‘We keep ourselves, and each other, safe’.

Our Aims

Our school aims are underpinned by our values. Through our school values, we aim to:

Promote high standards of academic and vocational achievement for every child, every time, through a highly-inclusive approach.
Promote a holistic view of the whole child, supporting them to become well-rounded individuals and members of society.
Encourage all children to develop positive relationships with, and respect for, themselves, each other, our local community and the wider world.
Provide a safe, welcoming and positive environment for our children and families; acting as a hub at the heart of our community.

Our Community

Bricks and mortar do not make a school, people do. We can achieve great things when we work together, and our community is at the heart of what we do. We are a hub of support for our families, and provide a safe and loving environment for our children to shine.

Our Academy Trust

Since December 2019 we have been a proud member of Waterton Academy Trust, providing even more opportunities for our pupils to shine. As part of the Waterton family, we ensure that success for all is not a goal, but an expectation.
