Downsview Primary and Nursery School

Instilling and promoting values. The school's golden rule of 'Respect' and core values of Trust, Love, Cooperation, Diversity, Resilience and Responsibility are the foundations we build upon to strengthen our children’s character.

Grow morally and develop life skills to be successful citizens who make a positive contribution to this world. As a school, our values run through a broad and balanced curriculum designed to promote the children’s moral growth and develop their life skills. Being a school with Eco-credentials with distinction, we are a beacon in the community teaching our children to be climate change champions. We have embedded sustainability into our curriculum and showing our community that our children care for the world around them.

A meaningful and challenging academic curriculum that respects all learners, empowering children to develop character and helping them succeed. At Downsview, children are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and try their hardest to achieve their best.

Relationships between the school, parents and the community. We strive to find every opportunity to foster caring and positive relationships with parents/carers and the wider community through our FOD events and whole school activities.

Self-reflection – To be reflective is a vital skill to have for personal growth; therefore, we endeavour to teach children to be thoughtful, to evaluate and assess themselves; whilst at the same time, as staff, we regularly reflect on our own practice, in order to give the children, the best possible opportunities.
