'Being the best we can be'
Vision and Values
At Preston Primary Academy Trust Staff and Governors will provide the highest academic standards in a safe and caring environment. We will develop a love of learning to last our children throughout their lives. Our exciting curriculum and extra-curricular activities will broaden our children's horizons, giving them a greater sense of themselves and the importance of others as individuals.
We are committed to a strong partnership between home and school, secondary schools, the local community and industry in order to become centres of excellence. Such excellence not only applies to academic studies, but also sporting and creative pursuits and the recruitment of high quality staff at all levels.
Our children will be known for their high standards of behaviour and their sense of citizenship within the community and in modern Britain.
Our Key Values and Aims are to:
- Ensure outstanding teaching and a culture of high expectations and high attainment where all individuals (children and staff) reach their full potential and take pride in their achievements.
- Create a safe and stimulating environment, providing lifelong learning experiences which meet individual needs.
- Promote and develop spiritual, moral and cultural growth.
