“Growing Towards Tomorrow”
At Larkspur Community Primary School we aim to provide children with a stimulating, creative and challenging learning environment.
Each individual is to be valued and is to be given the opportunity to develop a positive self-image and self-discipline. This will lead to mutual respect.
Pupils will be self-motivated, independent learners. Their successes will continue into adulthood.
We have listened to the views of the Larkspur Community – governors, staff, pupils, parents and carers and created a series of 8 values that underpin our school ethos.
Our curriculum has been carefully designed in response to a thorough curriculum review and redesign. Our bespoke curriculum is driven by a series of key curriculum drivers. See our curriculum vision below:
Curriculum Vision
At Larkspur Primary School we provide a bespoke curriculum that supports and challenges every child. Larkspur is a place where pupils feel safe, happy and valued. Building confidence and self-esteem are key drivers in establishing positive mindsets and fostering life-long aspirations. Through a language rich programme of learning, we develop children’s communication skills. Problem solving and creativity are at the heart of teaching and learning.
