Mission, Aims & Ethos

Everything begins with the conviction that happy children are ready to learn. Academic success is paramount, but only part of the all-round development of children at Beeston, where all activities are focused on the many aspects of character: the personal and social, the creative and physical, the moral and spiritual and the logical and linguistic. Recognising these enables us, together, to maximise the chances of success so that the children understand, and are committed to, their own personal development.

The aims and ethos of Beeston are

1. To educate the children to the highest academic standards and ensure they achieve places at their first choice of senior school

2. To provide an outstanding and broad education which includes art, sport, music, drama and a wider co-curricular programme

3. To develop positivity of outlook, leadership and self-reliance in all our pupils through building successful and caring relationships

4. To develop partnerships, between the school, parents and the wider community

5. To foster a spirit of enquiry and an understanding that we learn from our mistakes

6. To embed good habits and routines to best maximise health and wellbeing amongst all in the community

7. To develop a respect and appreciation for self, others and the environment we enjoy

8. To understand and use technology to its best effect, safely and wisely

9. To engender a sense of responsibility towards self and the world beyond

10. To encourage pupils to be adventurous, inclusive, loyal, broad-minded and generous.
