At Ickford School, our mission is to nurture curious, confident, and compassionate learners who are empowered to shape their futures. We promote a vibrant, inclusive and inspiring learning community where every child is valued, supported and challenged to reach their full potential.

Our vision is to lead a thriving, inclusive and ambitious primary school where every child flourishes academically, socially and emotionally. Through strong leadership and governance as well as a commitment to continuous improvement, our vision is to ensure the school remains high-performing and compliant. Our aims are:

To value each child as an individual with special abilities, gifts and needs and to ensure that they have equal access to all aspects of school life and an enjoyable education.

To create a stimulating, inclusive and safe environment conducive to learning in which children are encouraged to be creative, resilient and confident, lifelong learners.

To foster an environment that allows for creative and dynamic teaching where every member of staff feels valued and supported and has the opportunity for professional self-development.

To work in partnership with parents, the local and wider community embracing trust, understanding and mutual support.

To encourage children and staff to adopt healthy lifestyles by promoting physical activity as part of a lifelong healthy lifestyle, encouraging them to eat sensibly and helping them to form positive relationships.

To provide a safe and nurturing environment that allows for the development of the academic, cultural, physical, moral, spiritual and social dimensions of each pupil regardless of gender, faith, nationality, disability or socio-economic status.

To promote integrity, honesty and self-respect in each pupil and develop compassion, tolerance and respect for others.
