Intent Statement and School Vision
William Bellamy Primary School
Statement of Ethos and Values
At William Bellamy Primary School, our ethos is built on nurture, inclusion and ambition. We are committed to recognising every child for who they are, supporting who they can become, and providing the care, attention and encouragement they need to thrive. We believe that children learn best when they feel safe, valued and celebrated as individuals.
Our school values – respect, equality, ambition, compassion, resilience, confidence and curiosity – are at the heart of everything we do. They shape our relationships, drive our curriculum, and prepare our pupils to flourish both academically and personally. We want every child to leave our school with these values deeply embedded, guiding them throughout their lives.
We celebrate diversity and actively promote inclusion. By embracing the unique strengths and backgrounds of every pupil, we challenge barriers, widen horizons and empower children to believe that their future aspirations are limitless.
Our curriculum is ambitious, creative, and relevant, designed to inspire a love of learning, promote well-being and develop essential skills for life. Through rich experiences, meaningful opportunities, and a nurturing environment, pupils are supported to develop resilience, curiosity, and confidence. We never place limits on learning and ensure that every child, whatever their starting point, is challenged and supported to achieve their very best.
We extend our ethos of nurture to our staff team, recognising that children succeed when adults feel supported, valued and equipped to grow. We invest in professional development, well-being and collaboration so that staff can provide the highest quality education for our pupils.
At William Bellamy Primary School, we are proud to be a community where every individual is respected, every learner is included, and every child is inspired to succeed.
