HEAD TEACHER’S WELCOME

Welcome to New Bewerley Community School, where pupils aged 4 to 11 thrive in an inclusive, multicultural learning environment. Our school is founded on our values – Include, Create, Perform

This vision reflects how New Bewerley Community School provides a stimulating environment and a caring space where very special children work hard, fulfil their potential and develop a genuine concern for the needs of others. Our curriculum meets the needs of all learners and provides high quality experiences because of our partnership with Opera North (In Harmony) and other arts companies. It is our aim that at the end of a child’s time at New Bewerley Community School they will have a sense of achievement and high self-esteem as a result of their experiences here.

INCLUDE

Our enthusiastic and dedicated staff encourage all of our young people to learn and grow by being open-minded and listening to others. We are proud of the wide range of religions, cultures, traditions and backgrounds that make up our diverse family of learners which, we believe, helps to enrich the lives of all our pupils.

In addition, a wide range of experiences and the promotion of British Values across the curriculum helps to develop the spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding of our pupils. Equality of opportunity and positive relationships between adults and children ensure it is a journey we are on together.

PERFORM

We aim to provide a quality education, and encourage all of our pupils to plan ahead and work hard by becoming reflective learners with a sense of responsibility for their own learning and development. Only then can they grow their individual talents and put what they have learnt into action.

Our parents and carers say they trust us, and are keen to work with us. Consequently, they frequently help out in classroom activities such as reading workshops and language development, ensuring that we are “the school of choice” in the local area.

EARLY YEARS

Our parents and carers say they trust us, and are keen to work with us. Consequently, they frequently help out in classroom activities such as reading workshops and language development.

We welcome the active part they play in their children’s education and the positive contribution they make to the life of the school. Excellent relationships between staff, pupils, parents and carers also encourages good behaviour and regular attendance.

CREATE

Our teachers have high expectations and high aspirations for all our young people, who thrive within a caring and stimulating environment in which there are numerous opportunities to learn together and play together.

A broad and balanced curriculum is tailored to our pupils’ individual needs and abilities, while an emphasis on literacy, numeracy and other essential skills such as teamwork and the ability to communicate, gives our pupils the tools they need to achieve their best.

At New Bewerley, we believe the arts can have a powerful effect on raising attainment, and so we give pupils every chance to be creative, including working with visitors from organisations such as Opera North and the West Yorkshire Playhouse.
