‘A school for thinkers’

Mission

Parents and carers are active partners in all aspects of school life. Creativity and independent thinking are taught, are valued and are central to developing our children as successful, life- long learners. We aim to develop responsible citizens through meaningful links between children of different ages and backgrounds within the school, and between schools at local, national and international levels. An understanding of environmental issues plays an increasingly important role in children’s life and learning.

A message from our Headteacher

At Tanners Wood we believe passionately in placing children at the centre of everything we do. Our motto, ‘We Care-We Challenge-We Learn’, captures succinctly what we stand for in ensuring that our pupils feel safe and happy, and are encouraged to aim high and extend themselves whilst at school. Similarly, ‘A School for Thinkers’, expresses our commitment towards helping children to become independent in the way they are able to tackle the issues and challenges they will face throughout their lives.
Education is not just about preparing children for the future. It is about enabling children to be the best that they can be now as well as later on in their lives. By encouraging children to believe in themselves and their capabilities, and by engaging them in enjoyable challenging activities, we aim to do just that.
