Values and vision

Tooting Primary School’s pastoral care focuses on building self-esteem in the belief that this, in combination with careful planning, building good relationships and ensuring that the highest expectations are in place, will result in all pupils achieving to the highest level.  In addition to developing a robust, creative curriculum that will give pupils the opportunity to learn key skills in all academic areas, the school also aims to ensure that they develop a 'can-do' attitude towards life and learning.

Ofsted

“Leaders, managers and governors have lost no time in establishing a culture of exceptionally high expectations since the school opened. Working closely with staff, they have made sure that teaching is consistently of the very highest quality, and that pupils’ outstanding behaviour and attitudes to learning flourish.”
