At Water Street Primary School we value all learning experiences which contribute positively to the rounded development and achievements of our pupils. We continually strive to improve the quality of our teaching. Our classroom practice is designed with an understanding of how children learn best at its heart.

Key Principles

  • Teaching and learning activities enthuse, engage and motivate all children to learn and their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning is nurtured.
  • Learning activities are well planned, ensuring progress in the short, medium and long term
  • Assessment informs teaching so that there is provision for support, repetition and extension of learning for each child, at each level of attainment.
  • The learning environment is stimulating and appropriately organised, the atmosphere is purposeful and all children feel safe.
  • There are strong links between home and school. The importance of the parent school partnership in each child’s learning is recognised, valued and develop
