At Fowey Primary School our aim is to open the door to the world beyond our town for our children. We want children who leave Fowey Primary School to have a sense of place and to be full of knowledge and wonder for the world they live in, ready to take on challenges with confidence and pride.
Fowey Primary School provides a wide range of activities and experiences aimed at capturing children’s talents and interests. Personal development is taught in a range of ways throughout the children’s school journey. For example:
- in discrete lessons (please see the PSHE curriculum, including coverage of British Values and SMSC).
- through cross-curricular links in other lessons.
- through weekly Picture News sessions.
- in assemblies and workshops: guest speakers, role-playing, and interactive activities.
- by encouraging positive leadership among pupils through roles such as head pupils, school councilors, House captains, class responsibilities.
- by celebrating diversity: embracing cultural differences and promoting inclusivity.
- by specialist staff working with individuals and groups.
- in online safety lessons in computing and assembly.
- by celebrating positive learning attributes daily and with weekly certificates.
- in the range of extra-curricular clubs on offer.
- through well thought through transitions throughout the school and beyond.
- by focusing on mental and physical health.
- through outdoor activities, visits and residentials.
At Fowey Primary School we C.A.R.E about our world, our learning, each other, our families, our community and ourselves
COLLABORATION
Here at Fowey, children appreciate the importance of learning together and sharing our knowledge. They understand that through learning and collaboration, they are able to open doors and create pathways. Their successes will drive forward their ambitions.
ASPIRE
Our pupils know the importance of having the determination to keep going when things are difficult. Children at Fowey understand that at times they may fail, but we support them to learn from their failures, and go on and achieve their dreams.
Through our curriculum offer, we encourage pupils to be curious and aspire to learn about the world in which we live. By asking questions, exploring perceptions, challenging points of view, and harnessing their inquisitive nature, they increase their understanding of the world and consider their contributions towards it.
RESPECT
The children at Fowey respect other ideas and work. We support them to find what they are good at and provide opportunities to celebrate and respect all achievements. We encourage our pupils so that they all feel success, which supports their happiness and develops their self-respect. We show respect for our school community and the community which we serve, and want to instil this respect in our pupils.
EMPATHY
We encourage our pupils to celebrate the differences between all people, cultures, and faiths. We place high importance on our relationships education and use an inquiry approach to develop pupils’ abilities to respectfully disagree. By learning about the world in which they live and the people within it, they have a better understanding and mutual respect for all.
