Welcome
Our Vision
At Lark Rise Academy we have 4 core areas of Reading, Sustainability, Values and Digital Literacy that are prioritised across the school to ensure that by the time children leave primary school they have the knowledge and skills needed in each area in order to be successful lifelong learners.
We are passionate about the education, well-being and safety of children and ensuring that we achieve the very best outcomes in all aspects of the school’s provision. We strive to achieve the absolute best for the children in our care, working closely to foster positive relationships with parents and carers, to nurture the children’s appetite for learning whilst ensuring they feel safe, included and happy in the school environment.
In order to meet the needs of all of our children, all children access an inspiring and engaging curriculum with reading at the heart and a strong focus on the development of core skills in Writing and Mathematics; aiming for children to be confident and fluent in these areas. Our curriculum is enriched with exciting and motivational learning opportunities, ‘Magic Moments’, that take place both in the classroom and in the real world with the hopes of creating a lifelong love of learning. Oracy development and the explicit teaching of vocabulary are a core part of our teaching and learning model enabling our children to be eloquent, articulate and confident in expressing themselves verbally and as a writer. Our curriculum is adapted and developed using research-informed approaches that are proven to have the greatest impact so that children can understand, retain and recall their learning; underpinned by effective technology for learning to enhance their learning further.
Our focus on children’s social, emotional and mental health needs helps each and every child to reach their full potential both in the current stage of their educational journey and beyond. Our collaborative work with parents, carers and external professionals helps children grow into confident, resilient, responsible and independent thinkers and learners, this alongside the values that are embedded across the school ensures they can be positive and successful in their future endeavours.
Our environment is accepting of every individual’s similarities and differences. We promote an understanding and celebration of the diverse world we live in to ensure every child feels represented and flourishes with a sense of belonging. We promote and model the importance of living sustainably so our children are empowered to effect positive change.
Working together, we aim to be the best school we can possibly be thereby positively impacting on the lives of our children and families.
