Vision & Ethos

Pineham Barns opening all eyes to a world of possibilities, through achievement and inspiration, empowering the Difference Makers of the Future.

Fun, Creativity and Achievement is reflected in a unique way at Pineham Barns, through its stunning countryside location, which is innovatively mirrored in the unique learning environments and creative curriculum. The success of our curriculum and innovative teaching and learning, which has high aspirations for all pupils, has led to continually exceptional outcomes, with some in the top 1% of the country.  We are proud of our outcomes and drive, but our passion is inspiring and empowering our children with the skills to be the Difference Makers of the future. Children who are empathetic and aspirational individuals, who celebrate diversity and are confident to challenge perceptions, who will ultimately make a difference and a valuable contribution to our society now and in the future.

• Recognising each child as a unique child with individual needs, our curriculum is adapted by highly skilled professionals to meet the needs of all learners, so every child reaches their full potential. We commit to providing the very best teaching and learning experiences, inspiring and challenging pupils to demonstrate exceptional outcomes.
• We celebrate individual achievements to nurture and build self-belief in all children. Through rich and varied opportunities in dance, sport, drama and music, all pupils have the opportunity to grow in confidence and develop enriching aspirations for the future.
• The British Values Curriculum is interwoven into every element of life at our school. Our core values of Respect & Tolerance, Cooperation, Kindness, Aspiration, Determination & Responsibility are upheld, celebrated and promoted by all stakeholders. Our strong community partnerships are important and help ensure every child has a mutual respect and tolerance of the many different faiths and beliefs within our society. We are committed to providing pupils with experiences and understanding, to ensure they make a positive contribution to life in Modern Britain and are ultimately aspiring to be the Difference Makers of the Future.
• Staff are committed to providing a safe, stimulating and positive learning environment, in which all pupils can flourish, and develop as individuals. We have the highest possible regard for safeguarding procedures and actively seek ways to improve provision at our school, so it consistently demonstrates the very best practice.
• All pupil and stakeholder contributions are valued; we believe in equality and inclusion. We believe in working collaboratively with families to secure the very best outcomes for pupils and strive to ensure meaningful family partnerships at every opportunity and interaction. As part of the local community, we embrace all those individuals and organisations who are supportive of and interested in our school.
