Welcome to New Valley Primary School
At New Valley, we aim high. We want every child to achieve to fulfil their potential, and to become a confident, enthusiastic and effective learner, who can go on to succeed at secondary school and beyond. Just as important, we want every child to become a happy, tolerant, considerate, healthy individual.
Most of all, we know it is the children who make New Valley such a special place. We are committed to ensuring that children make good progress in their learning, and we place a strong emphasis on developing basic skills in literacy and maths. We are equally determined that children enjoy coming to their school and are proud of it; we are constantly striving to make our curriculum varied, exciting and challenging.
We also know that children learn and behave best when there is a strong partnership between home and school. We are proud of the fact that our school community comes from a wide variety of backgrounds, and we want to involve families in the life of the school as much as possible.
Children in Reception have developed a very positive attitude to school life (and) are well prepared for moving up into Year 1. Parents echo this view and welcome the strong partnership approach. (Ofsted, June 2017)
The school nurtures pupils well and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is well promoted. (Ofsted, June 2017)
The curriculum is rich and diverse. As well as correctly focusing on developing pupils’ key literacy and numeracy skills, pupils study an interesting range of other subjects. (Ofsted, June 2017)
