Churchill Gardens Primary Academy

Our first year of being an academy is an exciting time for Churchill Gardens. We enjoy a friendly, small school atmosphere within the structure of a larger organisation, Future Academies, which brings many benefits. Already we have seen improvements to our timetable and our curriculum, as well as new opportunities for children outside the school day. 

The warm atmosphere of Churchill Gardens ensures that each child is valued and cared for as an individual.  This creates a happy environment in which children are well motivated and keen to learn. We strive for academic excellence, whilst nurturing the talents and abilities of each individual.  We encourage excellence in everything and reward and celebrate excellence in anything.

We understand that children learn by example and respond positively to encouragement and praise.  As staff, we know that we are role models for children so we stand firmly by traditional expectations through exemplifying kindness, care and good manners and we see this reflected in the children.  Pupils at Churchill Gardens are expected to be thoughtful and considerate; distinctly aware of and sensitive to the needs of others.

We also expect the children to ‘have a go’ and to do their best, in order that they grow in resilience and perseverance. There is an insistence on participation across the school because we want the children to feel happy and confident about taking part in new and exciting challenges, so that they appreciate their own strengths and abilities as well as the strengths and abilities of others
