What is IFly?

The curriculum core offer is enhance by our IFLY activities. Each year group take part in visits or have visitors to widen their knowledge and broaden their experiences. The activites include attending school residentials, linking with other schools and learning an instrument.

Our aims are:

• Enhance the curriculum to provide hands on experiences across the curriculum that children will remember
• Support our children to make a positive contribution to society
• Ensure our pupils have an understanding of where they live and why that is special

The Aims support our values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience.

We learn to respect others by:

Promoting Inclusivity: Fostering an environment where all pupils and staff are respected regardless of their background, abilities, or beliefs.

Encouraging Positive Behavior: Teaching pupils to treat others with courtesy, kindness, and empathy, reducing bullying and conflicts.

Enhancing Learning: Creating a respectful atmosphere helps pupils feel safe and open to learning, improving academic performance.

4.Building Character: Instilling respect as a core value helps shape pupils' character, making them responsible and considerate individuals.

Preparing for Citizenship: Teaching respect in schools helps prepare pupils to be respectful, engaged citizens in a diverse society.

Conflict Resolution: Equipping pupils with conflict resolution skills to resolve disputes in a respectful manner.

Fostering Teacher-Pupil Relationships: Establishing a respectful rapport between teachers and pupils enhances the learning experience.

Promoting Responsibility: Encouraging pupils to take responsibility for their actions and choices.

Preparing for the Future: Instilling respect prepares pupils for respectful interactions in their personal and professional lives.

Creating a Safe Environment: A respectful school environment reduces bullying and violence,                                                   

making it safer for everyone.

Pupils are expected to take ownership of their actions and decisions. Here are some aspects of pupil responsibility:
