A very warm welcome to our school website. You will find all of the key information about our school here. Our hope is that the website will provide a sense of what is important to our school and give you an insight into our approach to learning. At Scargill our motto is "Learning together, achieving together, succeeding together" which reflects our aim to work as one team for all to flourish.

It is a pleasure to welcome you and your child to our school. We hope that your time with us will be filled with happy memories, exciting opportunities and many achievements. Our dedicated team is committed to making sure every child feels valued, supported and inspired throughout their time with us

Our aim is simple, we want our pupils to leave us not only with a strong foundation for their future, but with a genuine love of learning, a belief in themselves and the confidence to make a positive difference in the world around them.

At the heart of our school are six values that shape who we are and how we treat one another:

These are much more than words. They are the qualities we seek to develop in every child, every day.

We teach our children to have Perseverance when learning is challenging, to show Respect and kindness towards others, and to have Aspiration — believing that their dreams and ambitions are worth pursuing. We encourage Independence, giving children the confidence to think for themselves, make positive choices and take responsibility for their learning. Through Sensitivity, we help our pupils understand and appreciate the feelings, experiences and perspectives of others. And with Enthusiasm, we encourage them to embrace every opportunity, approach life with curiosity and celebrate the joy of learning.

We believe that children flourish when they feel safe, happy and understood. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to create a welcoming and inclusive environment in which every pupil can discover their strengths, overcome challenges and be proud of who they are.

Education is a partnership, and we greatly value the support of our parents and carers. By working together, we can give our children the very best possible start and help them develop into confident, compassionate and successful young people.

As you explore our website, I hope you get a sense of the energy, warmth and ambition that make our school such a special place. We are incredibly proud of our pupils, our staff and our wider school community.

Finally, we are always delighted to welcome prospective families to visit our school. A visit gives you the opportunity to see our school for yourself, experience our learning environment and meet the staff who are committed to providing the very best experiences for our children.

Warm regards,

Mr M. Tracey
