Introduction

Thank you for visiting our website. I hope you will find the information helpful in understanding our ethos as well as the general life and work of our school.

We believe that the children who join our school should feel they exist in a secure, happy and caring environment guided by adults who invest time in dealing sensitively with each individual and developing strong working partnerships with parents. We foster a family atmosphere throughout the school sharing concerns and celebrating success in an inclusive environment free from prejudice; a place where everyone, irrespective of their race, colour, ethnic or national origin, physical or academic ability feels welcomed and valued.

Through close teamwork and effective communication we aim to provide a consistent approach to pastoral care enabling the children to work, learn and play in a positive and welcoming environment based on mutual trust and respect. The children are taught the importance of caring for everyone and understand that the school expects the highest standards of behaviour, appearance and manners of everyone in the school community.

We aim to develop a close partnership with you as parents as soon as possible. As well as providing regular communication, the school welcomes you into the community by creating opportunities for you to become actively involved in your child’s education. We welcome voluntary helpers to the classrooms, help with school visits and school clubs.

We hope your association with Boxgrove School will be happy and memorable.

We aim to:

Ensure every child succeeds. Provide an inclusive education within a culture of high expectations.
Make learning vivid and real. Develop understanding through enquiry.
Make learning a challenging and enjoyable experience.
Encourage children to stretch themselves to reach aspirations and achievements far beyond their thinking.
