Parklands Infant and Nursery School

At Parklands Infant and Nursery School, we are committed to helping every child flourish as a learner and grow into a confident, caring and successful individual. We provide a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where every child is valued, supported and encouraged to achieve their full potential.

We believe that every child is unique. By recognising individual strengths, interests and needs, we ensure that learning is engaging, challenging and tailored to help each child thrive academically, socially and emotionally. Alongside developing knowledge and skills, we place great importance on children's wellbeing, confidence and personal development.

As the world continues to change, we believe it is vital that children develop the resilience, creativity, independence and problem-solving skills needed to succeed in the future. We encourage our pupils to be curious, take responsibility for their learning, make informed choices and understand the positive contribution they can make to their communities and the wider world.

Partnership is at the heart of everything we do. Staff, governors, parents and carers work together to provide the very best start to each child's educational journey, creating strong foundations for lifelong learning and a genuine love of discovery.

Our Vision

We strive to create an inclusive community where every child has the opportunity to:

• Develop a love of learning and a curious, enquiring mind.
• Gain the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to thrive in a changing world.
• Build self-confidence, self-discipline and independence.
• Show kindness, empathy, tolerance and respect for others.
• Develop positive values, attitudes and beliefs about themselves and the world around them.
• Respect and care for the environment while embracing new technologies and opportunities.

The Parklands Person

At the heart of our school are the values chosen by our Pupil Councillors, which define what it means to be a Parklands Person:

Safe • Kind • Polite • Positive • Important • Respectful

These values underpin every aspect of school life and are woven throughout our curriculum, assemblies, celebrations, relationships and daily experiences. Our children understand what it means to be a Parklands Person and take pride in demonstrating these qualities every day.

We are also committed to promoting equality, celebrating diversity and preparing children to become thoughtful, responsible citizens through the teaching of fundamental British values and the development of their spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding.
