At Shacklewell we:

  • Value achievement and work hard to ensure each child reaches their full academic, personal and social potential in line with national expectations, as a minimum and ensure that the barriers to learning are removed.
  • Understand that children are individuals and have different needs.
  • Encourage children to be different and have high self esteem.
  • Celebrate the diversity of our children's cultural backgrounds and encourage mutual respect for all.
  • Expect good behaviour at all times and help our children develop into good citizens, supporting the rights and needs of others.
  • Establish good relationships with children, parents/carers, all staff and governors.
  • Provide a curriculum that extends beyond the school environment, enriching their wider education within a culture where children are free to develop without being discriminated against because of sex, race, faith, language, ability or social class.
