Welcome to The Florence Nightingale Academy. We are a welcoming two form entry primary school amongst a diverse and thriving community. We pride ourselves on developing curious learners, who engage readily with their learning, consistently demonstrate our values and want to do their very best.

Curriculum design and high-quality teaching and learning are at the heart of everything we do as a school. Through our curriculum, we provide our children with opportunities to make sense of the world they live in, think critically about world issues and to develop an awareness of the impact our actions can have on others. As a school we never compromise on the high expectations that we have of all of the children who attend The Florence and we create experiences that allow children to become confident, global citizens.

With our children being the leaders of the future, we actively promote independence, confidence and teamwork. We strive for excellence always!

Headteacher

The children at The Florence Nightingale Academy lie at the heart of everything we do. Our motto ‘Laugh often, dream big and reach for the stars’ alongside our growth mindset stars work alongside these values to support and guide them during their time at The Florence Nightingale Academy. We believe that instilling these core values will help prepare the children to be life-long learners.

The core values are:

• Resilience – To persevere with a challenge. Children will take risks and understand the value of making mistakes. Mistakes are an opportunity to learn.
• Creativity – Children can think for themselves and find creative solutions to problems. They know there are many answers to a question, and they enjoy exploring this.
• Aspiration – All children will challenge themselves to aim high. They will have the ambition to achieve excellence.
• Independence – To develop skills to work alone or as part of a group. Taking ownership of their learning.
• Integrity – Be able to do the right thing for the right reason. Children to be honest to themselves and others.
• Tolerance – Accepting others and respecting the views of everyone appreciating others’ wishes, feelings and rights. The school is a welcoming environment that celebrates diversity.
