Welcome to Abbey Farm Educate Together Primary.

We are excited to open our new school in September 2022 to the first cohorts of Reception Class and Pre-school. As an experienced Headteacher, with 20 years in education, mostly spent in the Swindon area, I am excited to develop a new school.

Educate Together really did shine out to me as a school I could align with. The opportunity to work with an organisation fully supportive of an all-inclusive education could not be missed. Very simply, I want to create a thriving, caring, forward thinking new school that meets the core principles of Educate Together whilst having some unique Swindon elements, linked to our local community.

We are part of the Educate Together Academy Trust and as such, we are an equality-based school where we live by the mottos ‘no child an outsider’ and ‘learn together to live together’.

Our school celebrates diversity, individuality and respects each child’s identity and that of their family equally. This enables us to develop the whole child, encouraging all children to excel. Our unique ethical curriculum and our core principles enable us to create a nurturing learning environment which develops the skills children need to be global citizens for the increasingly diverse society in which we live.

Abbey Farm will work towards becoming a Rights Respecting School and this education is embedded in all interactions and explicitly taught. This supports and underpins our unique ethical Learn Together curriculum that is taught throughout the school.

As an Educate Together school

We value all children and the unique contribution that they offer to the school.

We believe that all children learn best when they feel safe and are happy in school.

We believe that respect underpins all of our relationships within school and with the outside world.

We ensure that all pupils achieve their fullest potential and are fully prepared for the next stage of learning and life

Our 4 core principles…

Equity-based - Through being equitable in our work, all children and staff will have equal access to their rights and, regardless of background, all will be equally respected.

Aspirational - All of our children have the right to a holistic world class education. All our work aims to ensure that every child can make progress and achieve well in every aspect of their education.

Child-centred - Children are at the heart of every decision and activity. Their voices are actively sought and listened to. They play a lead role in shaping their education.

Collaborative - Our schools aim to be central to the communities they serve. As such, we look for opportunities to give voice to and work in partnership with all stakeholders of the schools.

Our trust is a collaboration of schools, based in the southwest of England, focused on achieving the best outcomes, in the broadest sense, for all children that attend our schools.

We are passionate about a holistic education. To this end, we aim for our children to achieve well against the national curriculum but believe that this should not be to the detriment of their ethical education or their sense of purpose. As such, we adhere to the national curriculum but also teach a curriculum, called Learn Together, that allows children to develop both their ethical understanding of the world as well as a deep-rooted set of values.

To support our work, we have a set of four core principles, to which we endeavour to hold ourselves to account:

Equity-based

Aspirational

Child-centred

Collaborative
