All children are unique and special
Little Amesbury
The Little Amesbury Philosophy
- We recognise that all children are unique and special.
- We value what children can do, assessing their individual needs and helping each child to make better than expected progress, understanding that children develop at different rates.
- We provide a safe, challenging, stimulating, caring and sharing environment inside and outside, which is sensitive to children’s needs.
- We provide a broad, balanced, creative and exciting curriculum that will inspire children to learn and become independent learners. Setting in place firm foundations for learning throughout school and life.
- We develop each child physically, emotionally, linguistically, culturally, intellectually, socially, morally, spiritually and creatively to their full potential.
- We enable choice, independence, self-confidence and decision making, supporting children to learn and develop through their mistakes.
- We teach children the importance of play and good work ethics.
- We provide inclusive experiences for all children whatever their needs.
- We teach children the importance of working together, to enable our school to be a happy place where good behaviour and manners are expected and all children are able to enjoy school life.
- We teach the children to express and communicate their needs and the importance of “their voice.”
- This results in children leaving Little Amesbury on their journey through school and life with confidence, embedded skills and personalities rounded.
Communication with home
All children have learning journals which are shared with parents during ‘Book looks’ All children have an account on the ‘Blossom’ App’ where their work and achievements are evidenced. We use a specialist nursery app for booking extra sessions, and communicating about children’s likes / dislikes and physical needs. Our weekly planning is displayed in all classrooms so parents can support their child’s learning at home.
