Philosopher
Our PSHE curriculum promotes kindness, resilience and respect – supporting every child’s wellbeing and personal growth.

Children become confident digital learners – using technology safely, creatively and responsibly to enhance learning.
Avishayes Primary School and Early Years Centre has strengths in Early Years, Behaviours and Attitudes and Personal Development.
(Ofsted October 2024)
The school strongly promotes the pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development through a wide range of stimulating activities. This underpins the very supportive relationships between adults and pupils and between pupils that enrich their enjoyment and increased efforts in learning.
All groups of pupils, including disabled pupils, those with special educational needs and the most able, relish their learning. This is because teachers and teaching assistants set work and question them effectively to extend their thinking and skills.
