Vision & Values
Our Vision and Values at Awsworth Primary and Nursery School
Welcome to the Vision and Values page of Awsworth Primary and Nursery School. As a one and a half form entry academy located in the charming rural village of Awsworth, on the border of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, we take great pride in nurturing a warm, inclusive learning environment for every child. Our vision is central to everything we do, guiding our approach to education and community life.
Striving to Achieve Our BEST
At Awsworth, our vision is for everyone to strive to achieve our BEST. This simple yet powerful statement captures our commitment to continuous growth and excellence. We encourage every child to become a lifelong learner, developing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for success—not just academically, but in all areas of life.
Our core attitudes underpin this vision:
- Belief in every child’s potential to succeed
- Effort to give their best in all they do
- Success as the positive outcome of dedication and perseverance
- Teamwork to foster a collaborative and caring environment
What This Means for Our Children
We believe that education extends beyond the classroom. Our curriculum and daily activities are designed to inspire curiosity and resilience, helping children to:
- Develop a strong foundation in core subjects and practical skills
- Build confidence and independence through varied learning experiences
- Cultivate positive attitudes such as respect, responsibility, and kindness
- Prepare effectively for future challenges in school and beyond
With 17% of our pupils eligible for pupil premium funding, we are especially committed to ensuring that every child, regardless of background, has equal access to opportunities and support to thrive.
How We Live Our Vision Every Day
- Engaging Learning Environment: Our dedicated staff create lessons that motivate and challenge children, encouraging them to ask questions and explore new ideas.
- Community Spirit: We work closely with families and local partners to build a strong, supportive community where everyone feels valued.
- Celebrating Success: We regularly showcase pupils’ achievements and progress, reinforcing the importance of striving for personal bests.
- Personal Development: Beyond academics, we provide activities such as forest school sessions, arts, and sports to develop well-rounded individuals.
