Eccleston Primary School’s vision for the future

When looking to the future, our vision is to ensure that Eccleston Primary School continues to be recognised as having a caring, nurturing environment and a strong-performing school in the area.

We have the drive and determination to be the best we possibly can be and all staff have outstanding aspirations on behalf of all pupils in their care. For our children, the outcomes both academically and as a well-rounded citizen are equally important. We do this by promoting a positive growth mindset, lifelong learning and we encourage everyone to have a love of learning. We strive for this by consistently delivering very good levels of attainment and achievement in all areas of the curriculum.

Our curriculum is designed to broaden our children's horizons, widen their cultural capital and empower them to be curious about the world around them. We firmly believe that reading is the 'master skill'. Our systematic teaching of reading gives our children the confidence and life-long love of reading. A huge emphasis is placed on developing our children's physical and mental well-being. We also provide pupils and staff with the confidence, knowledge and experience to be successful. We are an outward and forward-facing school and work collaboratively and communicate effectively. We aim to provide young people with the experiences they need to develop into confident individuals and responsible citizens who are equipped with the skills to meet the ever- changing demands of 21st century life in modern Britain and be ready for the next stage of their education.
