About Pimlico Primary
About Pimlico Primary
Pimlico Primary is a new non-selective and non-denominational school in South Westminster. The school opened with its first Reception cohort in September 2013 and continues to grow, year by year. Currently over 40% of our pupils are eligible for Pupil Premium and more than 70% speak English as an additional language. Our knowledge-led curriculum inspires, and our excellent teaching challenges, with the result that children achieve highly while enjoying a vibrant and happy school life. We believe in giving children the very best start in life. Pimlico Primary truly is a place to grow.
A Unique Opportunity
Pimlico Primary’s building has been specially designed to support our knowledge-led curriculum. The primary school building has a designated outdoor sheltered teaching space for children, library with adjoining roof terrace garden, art studio, hall, staffroom and fully resourced PPA room. On site, there is also an Ofsted ‘outstanding’ teaching school (the Pimlico SCITT) and Future Academies’ Curriculum Centre, which produces high quality resources and research for the school.
Expanding a Successful School
Pimlico Primary shares a site with Pimlico Academy, an Ofsted ‘outstanding’ secondary school with a specialism in History and the Arts. Teachers and pupils have access to the wide range of specialist rooms and resources at the Academy, including drama studios, music rooms, and sporting facilities.
A Family of Schools
We are part of the Future Academies family of local schools. Our sponsor, Future, is an educational charity that aims to help young people succeed. It believes that, with the right support, encouragement and opportunities, there are no limits to what children can achieve.
Our proximity to our sister schools enables us to share effective practice and training opportunities.
Our Approach
Our approachto teaching and learning is coherent, cumulative and curriculum-led. We believe that with the right preparation and delivery of classroom resources, pupils can engage with a broad range of different subjects from the day they start Reception. Our curriculum is knowledge-led, which means that in addition to the important disciplines of English and Maths, our pupils will spend more time than other primaries focusing on History, Geography, Science, and the Arts. Our Curriculum Centre collaborates with teachers and Teaching School to carefully design the content and sequence of our curriculum.
Raising Aspirations
We believe it’s our responsibility to broaden our pupils’ horizons. Our knowledge-led curriculum gives pupils the means to explore and enjoy a world beyond their immediate environment. Alongside this, our comprehensive Raising Aspirations Programme opens up a world of people and opportunities that demonstrate that, with effort and determination, the sky’s the limit of their achievement.
Our Commitment to Teachers
Overseen by Future Academies, Pimlico Primary works closely with the Curriculum Centre, Pimlico Teaching School and other training providers to ensure you receive bespoke training that makes a difference to your classroom practice. We place a particular emphasis on curriculum development training and you will be supported in your use of existing resources and develop the knowledge and skills in order to make your own. In order to accommodate this training, we’ve built an additional ten (maximum) paid days training into the academic year. We are creating a dedicated curriculum development and resources room, so that you have all the materials you need to make effective and efficient use of your PPA time. Pimlico Primary is a new school with a handpicked enthusiastic, small staff. As the school grows year by year, so too do the range of exciting opportunities and responsibilities that will be open to you.
