At Farsley Springbank we aim to provide a caring and nurturing environment, which fosters a love of learning in all our children and provides them with the knowledge and skills needed to learn and discover, enabling them to become life-long learners. We want all our children to become confident individuals and successful learners who can work collaboratively and communicate effectively. Through responsive and reflective teaching, underpinned by the pedagogy of the Rosenshine Principles, and a curriculum which is knowledge rich, engaging, challenging and fun, our children are able to develop skills of independence, resilience, perseverance and self-reflection, encouraging them to be openly aware of their current strengths and areas for development. Learning is continually revisited through a variety of retrieval strategies to ensure key knowledge ‘sticks’ and is transferred to long term memory. We promote British values, the importance of respect, diversity and community and aim for our children to become responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society and show respect towards all others. It is our overarching aim for everyone at Farsley Springbank to ‘Be the best you can be’.
