Our Vision and Values

At Seymour Primary School, we are dedicated to fostering a nurturing, inspiring environment where every child can thrive and succeed. We celebrate diversity and cultivate a strong sense of belonging among our children, families, and staff. Our community encourages curiosity, compassion, and courage, empowering everyone to learn, achieve, and grow with confidence. We believe in the power of learning together and supporting each other every step of the way.

At the heart of this happy community are the school's values of courage, curiosity and compation. Pupils learn why these matter and through their exemplary conduct demonstrate these across the school.

Learning together Supporting each other

To prepare our children to become lifelong learners and well-rounded citizens, we have chosen three core values: Courage, Curiosity, and Compassion. We recognise that every child begins their journey from a different starting point. Through carefully planned pathways, we support each pupil in developing their strengths and skills so they can reach ambitious and exciting destinations.

At our school, every child’s voice matters. We actively listen to our pupils and involve them in important decisions, such as shaping our values emblem and contributing to our behaviour policy. We prioritise building strong, trusting relationships between children and adults, creating a safe space where pupils feel confident to share their needs, concerns, and ambitions. Each year, we dedicate time to nurturing our environment and culture, laying the essential foundation for our teaching and learning.

Curiosity value badge

We nurture curiosity in every aspect of school life. Our knowledge-rich curriculum and daily academic challenges spark intellectual curiosity, while a wide range of exciting opportunities and experiences encourage children to explore and discover. Strong links with our diverse community, both in and beyond school, foster social curiosity and broaden pupils’ horizons. From joining extra-curricular clubs and taking part in sporting events to learning a musical instrument, every child is encouraged to discover their passions and contribute something unique.

Our school is proud of its diverse community, where compassion lies at the heart of everything we do.

Our staff model compassion daily towards others and themselves creating a culture of kindness and respect. We also teach children the language of emotions, helping them to recognise, understand, and manage their feelings with confidence and empathy.
