Our Values & Ethos

We provide our children with a challenging, engaging and varied curriculum, underpinned by Christian values in order that our pupils may develop a thirst for the enjoyment of learning.

At Pencombe CofE Primary we aim to help pupils develop lively, enquiring minds, the ability to question and argue rationally, to apply themselves to tasks and expand their physical skills. We aim to encourage a work ethic in order that all children may reach their true potential physically, academically, socially and spiritually – to achieve a fullness of life through positive and realistic goals. It is the intention of the staff  to lay a foundation of basic skills in all areas of the curriculum in order for the children to progress with ease to the next stage of learning and in preparation for adult life.

We aim to provide children in our school with an understanding of religious and moral values, and an understanding of the physical world and it’s people; combined with a sense of value of its resources, in order that the children can relate to themselves and their immediate environment to the wider world. It is our intention to develop and maintain friendly and positive links between school, home and community, thus enabling parents and others to understand the aims and methods of our school and the importance of their role within it.
