Juniors Ethos, Vision & Values
At Lumley Junior School, we are passionate about helping our children grow and develop into confident young people who are kind, resilient, respectful and hard working. Our school values, ASPIRE, are integral to everything we do at Lumley Junior School and we aim to incorporate these values when we teach our curriculum as well as developing the knowledge, understanding and skills pupils are expected to develop in every subject.
A – Positive Attitude and Ambition
We promote a ‘can do’ attitude and encourage all children to try their best in all lessons. Pupils gain the knowledge and skills needed for future learning and employment so they can achieve their ambitions.
S – Spirited and Successful
Lessons are adapted to meet the needs of all learners, providing challenge for all at appropriate levels. Everyone has the opportunity to be successful in their learning. The curriculum is planned to build on prior learning so that children can make sense of new knowledge whilst consolidating what they have already learnt.
P – Proud and Passionate
We encourage pupils to take pride in their work so they are keen to share their learning with others. Our curriculum is celebrated through displays, assemblies and special events in school. We use Weduc to share photos of our curriculum in action with our school family.
I – Individual and Inclusive
We teach children to celebrate difference and understand that they are all unique. Our SRE curriculum is embedded within a carefully planned PSHE program so children develop their individuality and personality whilst learning to appreciate the individuality of others.
R – Responsible, Resilient and Respectful
In all lessons, children are taught to take responsibility for their learning with increasing levels of independence as they progress through the school. By the time they leave Lumley Junior School, they should be equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge they need for their secondary education and beyond.
E – Enthusiasm and Empathy
We want children to enjoy their learning and be enthusiastic about their work. Our curriculum is designed to offer exciting, stimulating lessons and we use visitors and trips where possible to offer first hand experiences to help children learn.
