Our children deserve the best start in life. To facilitate this, at Warren, everyone has a positive contribution towards developing the whole child. Our learning community understands the importance of Teaching and Learning in enhancing life chances for our children. At Warren we provide a safe environment where children can thrive through a stimulating and enriching curriculum. Through the adult’s high expectations of the children, they in turn develop their own high expectations of themselves and of each other. We aim to foster a growth mind-set where resilience is seen as a key attribute to unlocking learning.

Quality first teaching has the greatest impact on our children’s learning and the standards that they attain, and is the single most important factor determining pupil’s achievement which lies within our control. Through high quality teaching and learning, we will support pupils in developing the knowledge, understanding and skills that will enable them to fulfil their intellectual and personal potential and thereby help them to make a mature and critical contribution to society as an adult.

We embrace the fact that teaching and learning is constantly evolving in light of new research and remain reflective and responsive to adapt our practice so that to ensure all teaching leads to effective learning.

Warren Primary Academy is part of the L.E.A.D. Academy Trust. All schools within the Trust work collaboratively to bring about the following vision:

Through outstanding leadership we, at the L.E.A.D. Academy Trust, will provide the highest quality education to enable every pupil to realise their full potential.

To achieve our vision we prioritise the four core principles for which our name stands:

Lead ~ to show the way; to be first or foremost

In every aspect of life the ability to lead is essential. Strong leadership is the key to the success of our schools. We will develop leadership skills in everyone who attends one of them, ensuring the development of pupils as leaders of their own learning.

Empower ~ to give power to; to enable

At L.E.A.D. Academy schools pupils are empowered to have high aspirations for their futures. We nurture and challenge pupils to take responsibility, make decisions and work together so they grow into confident and resilient young people.

Achieve ~ to accomplish; to get or attain by effort

We believe in achievement in its broadest sense and that enjoyment of learning is crucial to success. We continually look for and reward achievement in every individual in our schools. We also know that a strong command of English and maths is vital as a foundation for the whole curriculum and prioritise learning in these core subjects.

Drive ~ to cause and guide progress; to impel forward

We will provide the very best education and training for every individual in our schools and will ensure that this is delivered. We value excellent teaching, underpinned by high quality professional development and will constantly move forwards, using and instigating the best ideas and practice.

We also understand that children need to be motivated if they are to succeed in life and we will provide a stimulating curriculum and environment which will prepare them for their futures with confidence and determination.
