School Vision

Our vision is to raise the aspirations of all our pupils by providing a creative and responsive curriculum that encourages pupil’s thinking and reasoning.  We aim to nurture positive attitudes to challenge, develop skills and increase knowledge of all pupils so they become happy, confident independent lifelong learners.

The teachers continually strive to create opportunities which promote confidence and independence. As a school we all believe that each individual has their own skills and talents and we strive to develop and celebrate these whenever possible.

Brudenell Primary School prides itself on its inclusive learning community, where children from the North West SILC (specialist inclusion learning centre) learn with children from the mainstream school.

We also recognise the importance of working alongside parents and carers and realise that by working together we build a partnership to benefit the children. Parents are always welcome at our Friday celebration assemblies and we would love you to join us. As a school we work with many agencies and projects to develop parental support of learning.

Staff and Governors work hand in hand to ensure that the educational opportunities of all children are protected and enhanced so that every child reaches their full potential.

On the first training day of each school year all staff are involved in our annual visioning session, where together we discuss the successes of the previous year and plan the School development Plan for the forthcoming year.

Our key areas for development for 2025-2026 are;

Improving standards 

Priorities  

• Ensure pupils master foundation concepts and knowledge.  

• Ensure school subjects are well taught and evaluated.  

• Ensure children in the lowest 20% and more-able learners are enabled to make good progress.  

• Colleagues work collaboratively to ensure consistency  

Inspiring Learning 

Priorities  

• Create experiential and collaborative inquiry in a classroom environment that promotes exploratory talk and student thinking.  

• Develop roles and responsibilities across school to enhance character development.  

• Continue to link learning to nature and the environment. 

Involving Others

Priorities  

• Governors to maintain their focus on continued improvement and ambition for the school  

• Develop a more productive working relationship with the Trust and Leeds Learning Alliance.  

• Maintain a supportive working relationship with new and existing parents.
