Dear Parents and Children,

Excellence through partnership.

The overriding aim of our school is to provide a happy, friendly and exciting, yet disciplined environment where every child matters; where your child is valued and encouraged to always do their best.

At Cape Primary School your child will receive high quality teaching in English and Maths and all subjects of the National Curriculum. Through our continued commitment to new technologies, your child will have access to the latest educational technology and software.

In addition, through our Personal, Social, Health Education and Citizenship curriculum we aim to ensure our pupils develop into confident, independent and caring young people who have a love of lifetime learning.

To achieve the best results, home and school must work in partnership and I would encourage you to talk face to face, e-mail, letter, text or through our website.  Together we can make a difference to the learning of our children.  To that end, our ‘Home School Agreement’ forms the basis of our trusting relationship that both you and your child are asked to sign.

I am proud to be able to present some aspects of our school to you on this website.  However, a website cannot tell the whole story.  Come and see us, have a coffee and spend some time looking around. I look forward to welcoming you and your child into our happy and thriving multi-cultural school. On behalf of the Governing Body and staff of Cape Primary School, I wish you a very long, happy and productive association with our school.

At Cape Primary School we endeavour to develop each child’s self esteem and confidence and enable them to become active and valued members of the community. This will be addressed through the following aims:

Standards

We encourage every child to aim for their very best, attain the highest possible standards, and make good progress in relation to their prior attainment in all areas.

We insist upon high standards of –          Work

                                                                 Behaviour

                                                                 Attendance

                                                                 Uniform

Quality

We provide an environment where children are encouraged to become independent learners through a range of teaching and learning strategies. We aim to provide pupils with teaching and learning opportunities of the highest quality, and a curriculum that fulfils the requirements of the National Curriculum and meets their individual needs.

Efficiency

We try to ensure that the children have the best, most stimulating resources available. We plan realistically and use the school resources efficiently to ensure good value for money from the funds available.

Ethos

We value, respect and care for each other, our resources and our environment. We help the pupils develop their spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding and to achieve good standards in their relationships.

Our School Prayer:

We have one world – Help us cherish it.

We have one life – Help us live it.

We are one community – Help us respect it.
