At Strand Primary Academy we have a team that is absolutely committed to ensuring that our children are at the heart of everything we do.

Our motto is ‘Together we are Stronger’ and we believe that when staff, parents and children work together all children, irrespective of their background, can succeed and achieve their ambitions. We work together to provide a happy, caring, safe and stimulating environment where learning is fun and everyone is encouraged to reach their full potential. We aim to broaden children’s minds and raise their aspirations. We foster a ‘can do’ attitude with everyone working together and we strive to make our school the best place to be.

The culture of our school is one in which staff and pupils are continually learning and are determined to succeed. We work collaboratively within the school and within the Delta network to share good practice. The principles of nurturing lie at the heart of our school and drive everything we do. We work hard to remove barriers to learning and we place great emphasis on academic achievement, ensuring that children have the necessary skills, knowledge and attitudes to prepare them for life.

We have introduced core values which we believe are essential in every aspect of life:

Strength – the strength of character to stand up for what is right and challenge if we feel something is wrong.

Trust – being trustworthy.

Resilience – being able to bounce back when things don’t quite go according to plan. Being prepared to try again.

Ambition – aiming high and believing you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

Nurture – being kind and caring to everyone.

Determination – determined to succeed and do our best.
