We offer a caring, creative and stimulating environment for all our children, staff and parents to learn together, grow and succeed.

We believe that children’s happiness and emotional wellbeing is vital and is the foundation for children to be able to thrive and contribute to society. We aim to give children positive initial experiences of learning and relationships, which will help to make them responsible, responsive citizens who appreciate the value of community.

Our School’s five core values underpin daily life. We teach our children to be:

• Caring: Nurturing children’s mental, physical, and emotional health.
• Creative: Using curiosity and imagination to solve problems and create new ideas.
• Inclusive: Embracing diversity, promoting inclusivity, and celebrating individuality.
• Aspirational: Having high expectations for everyone to be the best they can be.
• Resilient: Successfully adapting to challenges.

We have a passionate and big-hearted staff team who work hard to provide our children with a huge range of opportunities, carefully designed to spark their interests and enthusiasm, inspire them, and enable them to realise their full potential. Subsequently, children make excellent progress at Coleridge.

Walking around the school, it is impossible not to notice the inspirational artwork up on the walls, the happy sound of children’s voices and range of innovative learning taking place in our classrooms, or outside in our Forest School area. In addition, you may come across the display of the many trophies that our children have been awarded in sporting competitions. There is always an opportunity for every child to succeed, whatever their strengths and interests are.

Over the last decade, we have seen seismic changes to our local, national and global communities. However, because of our strong school community, rooted in in our school vision, we ensure we adapt, evolve and improve what we do, to meet the needs of the communities we serve.

I am very proud of Coleridge and very much hope that as you look through our website you understand why.
