Our Ethos and Values

 

We would like to welcome you to Stalham Infant & Junior Schools, sponsored by Broad Horizons Education Trust. 

​​

'Valued People, Successful Schools' is at the core of how we work and approach life at Stalham Infant & Junior Schools. This is the principle that all in our learning community are to be valued, looked after and supported. For our children, this looks like caring and supportive staff and approaches. For our staff, it means approaches that reduce workload, ensure work-life balance and give them time to do the best for our children. For our community, it is valuing the contribution that they can all make to the progress and outcomes of all associated with our learning community.

​

Everyone at Stalham Infant & Junior Schools plays their part in achieving excellence for our children. Teachers, support staff, parents and the community play their part in shaping opportunities and offering guidance, support and challenge for our children to ensure they achieve excellence.

 

Through our approach of cooperative learning and ongoing formative assessment, children access a progressive curriculum that builds on prior learning. This takes the form of clear statements, linked to the National Curriculum, key vocabulary, prior learning and applied learning opportunities. 

 

Our team at Stalham Infant & Junior is full of skilled, caring and hardworking people. They are welcoming of change, challenge and professional development. They are valued, act on their own initiative and are willing to do extra to achieve our goals. Whether this be taking work home to provide learning resources for our children or spending their evenings supporting the school discos or performances.

​Miss Ella Barnes 

Head of School

​

It is a privilege to lead a family of schools, including Stalham Infant & Junior Schools, within the Broad Horizons Education Trust.

At the heart of all we do is a simple but powerful belief: 'everyone plays their part in achieving excellence.'

​

Our trust vision is built on the idea that every child deserves the very best education, every member of staff has a vital role to play, and every family is a partner in our shared success.

We believe in aspiration, ambition, and opportunity for all – and in supporting one another so that each school, and each individual, can flourish.

​

Across our schools, this means creating safe, inclusive and inspiring environments where children develop a love of learning, grow in confidence, and are well-prepared for the future.

It also means working together. Pupils, staff, governors, parents and the wider community to celebrate achievements, overcome challenges, and never stop striving for improvement.

​

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We are proud of our schools, proud of our trust, and proud of the part that every individual plays in our collective journey towards excellence.

Mr Glenn Russell

Trust Executive Principal
