Welcome to Parklands Educate Together Primary Academy.  We are a new school with our first Year 6 class this academic year. We are fortunate to have state of the art  facilities and look forward to welcoming you to our school at the heart of this growing community, providing a great learning environment for all its pupils and local groups alike.

Educate Together schools follow a unique ethical curriculum. The key principles which underpin this will enable us to create a learning environment that nurtures children and help them to develop the skills, understanding and attitudes which they will need to thrive in our increasingly diverse and globalised world.

Parklands is an equality based school where we learn together to live together,following the national curriculum but also our own bespoke Learn Together curriculum. Every child and member of our school community is valued and respected equally: we seek to develop the whole child, to foster their unique individuality and to enable children to take ownership of their own learning.

We have four core principles, which have recently been reviewed:

• 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 of 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.

Trust Principles

We actively question whether what we do is for the children’s learning and welfare. We believe that a commitment to high academic standards is possible alongside a creative and ethical curriculum. The ‘Learn Together Curriculum’ is taught daily and integrated with the National Curriculum and the Early Years Curriculum in reception.
