Our values were co-constructed with staff, children and parents. Together we decided on the three words which we felt most connected with. Our vision is that every child will feel a sense of belonging, be ambitious and resilient.

We feel that is it essential that the children of Buckfastleigh Primary feel that they belong in our school. They need to have built strong relationships with the staff in their class and know that they have a right to a high quality education, no matter what their starting points might be.

It is key that the children are ambitious of themselves and that the staff are ambitious of the children they teach and lead. We want our children to have high aspirations, ready for when they continue their learning journey in secondary school.

We firmly believe that in order for children to reach their ambitions they need to be taught how to be resilient. This includes learning from mistakes and persevering, even when challenged.

Our mission is that all children will leave our school...

Safe, Respected and Ready to Step out into the World.
