About Nightingale Primary School
Welcome to our School profile. Nightingale Primary School forms part of the Maritime Academy Trust, a multi-academy trust that is committed to making sure that education is meaningful.
Our Trust is made up of 11 primary schools located in Greenwich, Bexley and Kent. Though our schools may be different with their own in-school culture and community spirit, they all work harmoniously and collaboratively together within a curriculum that ensures each and every child is being equipped with leadership and life skills. At Maritime, we do this by empowering schools to drive more meaningful and enjoyable outcomes for children by having great people working for us, who commit to working hard to make an impact whatever the school and whatever the role.
Nightingale is a small community school with high aspirations for all our pupils. We believe that all children can be successful when provided with the right support, environment and opportunities.
Pupils, families and staff work best when we work closely together to provide a welcoming, inclusive environment. We understand that we are at our best when we work together and learning from each other, regardless of faith, culture, gender, sexuality or background.
Our focus is to provide children with the skills and knowledge to ensure that they are able to make a positive contribution to the local and global community as they grow.
Our values of Respect, Confidence and Excellence are embedded in all that we do. They are the thread that holds us together.
We are proud of our inclusive ethos. All children are provided with excellent learning opportunities and experiences to engage them. All at Nightingale have one goal; to ensure that all children enjoy their learning and make the best progress possible.
