Chiltern Primary school is a community primary school with approximately 480 pupils on roll. It is a successful school serving the Hessle Road area of the city. The school is larger than average but aims to treat all pupils as individuals, with their own needs and talents.​

The school is proud to be an Open Futures Flagship School and is a Creative, Co-operative Community, with a caring and supportive ethos. Enthusiastic and committed staff provide high levels of education and pastoral guidance and support to all of the school's pupils.

As a Creative, Cooperative Community we aim to work together as a team, to provide inspirational and challenging learning opportunities for all our children, embedding basic skills and motivating them so that they can achieve their full potential. We also aim to develop skills for life, based on our core values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. We also believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others, which are crucial to ensure our children develop into responsible and articulate citizens who are ready for the future.

We will achieve this by:

• Promoting the highest academic standards possible and ensuring an enriched, balanced and broad curriculum
  
• All children are challenged suited to their needs
• All pupils feel valued, safe and secure in an environment which is respectful and honest
• Children will become resilient learners through a growth mind-set approach
• Provide positive role models, recognising success through practice and perseverance and with the support of learning partners
• Ensuring a well-resourced, calm and stimulating environment, where everybody is respected and valued
• Supporting pupils and their families

At Chiltern Primary School we believe that a child’s early education is formative and enduring. The lessons we teach give the knowledge, skills, beliefs and attitudes that inform future choices and life’s direction. They enable children to begin to discover who they are and what their place in a rapidly changing world might be. Our work is to provide children with a caring and safe environment in which to discover the adventure that is life.

We will deliver our mission by teaching the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum as our core curriculum along with the four strands of the Open Futures approach. We always actively encourage a growth mindset approach with everything we do.

The Open Future strands are:-

• Ask It! – philosophical enquiry
• Grow It! – growing healthy food and a healthy natural environment
• Cook It! – creating healthy and nutritious meals
• Film It! – communicating in a digital age

Thrive Co-operative Learning Trust  was created in September 2016 and now includes 3 secondary and 10 primary schools.

Our aim, underpinned by co-operative values and an ethical approach to leadership, is to inspire our students and staff and bring rapid and sustained improvement to the communities we live and work in.
