Nursery Teaching Assistant

Thank you for visiting our website, which I hope provides a window into our wonderful school. The staff, governors and I would like to welcome you to Thorpe Lea Primary School & Nursery.

We are a single form entry school offering education for children aged 3 to 11 years. We have an ambitious curriculum that engages and challenges our pupils, enabling them to become enthusiastic, independent lifelong learners and achieve excellence. The moment a child enters our school they become part of a family, built on commitment and togetherness that extends into our local community.

Our values of creativity, collaboration, courage and respect are fundamental in all that we do. We want to our children to live these values and support one another through their learning journey.

We form strong partnerships with parents to ensure each child flourishes during their time at our school. Thorpe Lea is a happy, nurturing place to be and the safeguarding of our children is our highest priority.

A range of sporting, creative and academic enrichment opportunities are offered, ensuring every child is valued and can develop their talents. We work in partnership with parents to support every child’s personal development and look forward to meeting you.

School Vision
To make Thorpe Lea Primary the school of choice in this community by achieving a strong reputation based on: innovative and impactful learning strategies, excellent leadership and consistently strong results. 

School Mission
To give every child the opportunity to enjoy and achieve fully in all areas, whilst developing a set of core life values, an awareness of their responsibilities as citizens and an appreciation of the awesome wonders of the wider world.

At Thorpe Lea Primary School our goal is to develop caring and responsible young citizens for the future, who learn how to develop their independence and take on shared responsibility for their own learning and progress. Our pupils learn to protect, and to make a contribution to, the wonderful world which we all share.They are encouraged to achieve their full potential in all they do, to enjoy life and to celebrate our school values. Most of our pupils spend eight years with us, starting in our purpose built Nursery, and progressing through the school to Year 6. All our pupils from the very youngest know, demonstrate and uphold our school values both in school life and in the wider community.

Our values are at the heart of everything we do:

• High Expectations: in our behaviour, our school work, our homework and our everything we do.
• Respect: for each other, for property, for nature and for the wider world we share.
• Teamwork: our strong belief in working together to achieve the best possible result, sharing ideas and strengths.
• Diversity: a profound belief that we treat everyone as our equal, celebrating difference and the strengths it brings.
• Nurturing Care: the knowledge that our school offers us a safe and supportive environment on which to thrive and progress.
• Curiosity: to encourage our pupils to ask questions, research and discover for themselves, and to help determine their own learning journey
• Creativity: to develop our own our creativity and our ability to solve problems by applying our knowledge.

Welcome to Thorpe Lea Primary School and Nursery where we nurture and develop ‘happy, safe children who achieve their potential.’

The staff and governors of Thorpe Lea are proud of our caring pupils who thrive in the school's spacious facilities and have access to an excellent education plus stimulating and exciting educational and cultural opportunities.

We are passionate about our school and our wider community; the school offers a vibrant learning environment with a highly experienced and skilled teaching team. All staff and governors work collaboratively to inspire the self-confidence to work hard and achieve the highest academic standards and sustained personal growth. We believe in the development of the whole child, encouraging our pupils to develop their social, academic, sporting cultural and musical talents concurrently via a strong extra-curricular programme of clubs.

School values are important to us and we develop these from the early years so that everyone feels part of our school community. Our values are: High Expectations, Respect, Teamwork, Diversity, Nurturing Care, Creativity and Curiosity. We believe firmly in the development of each pupil’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding as they develop a wide appreciation of the wonders of the wider world. We are part of the International School Programme and are delighted to host over sixteen nationalities, giving us great cultural diversity and opportunities; three of our Year 5 pupils will participate in a residential Chinese Immersion Week in August.
