Ethos

Cherry Orchard Primary School is a place where children belong, are challenged and supported and are given every opportunity to flourish.

Our purpose is to give every child the best possible start in life.

We want children to leave Cherry Orchard as confident, capable learners who are happy, well‑rounded and ready for the next stage of their education and beyond.

We believe education is about more than academic success. It is about developing the whole child, socially, emotionally and morally, so they can thrive in school and contribute positively to the wider world.

Values

Our STARS values: Sharing, Trust, Achievement, Respect and Safety are at the heart of everything we do. Children experience our values through clear routines and positive behaviour expectations:

• Being Ready encourages children to take responsibility for their learning, strive for success and achieve their potential.
• Being Respectful helps children show kindness, empathy and inclusion, building positive relationships based on respect, trust and sharing.
• Being Safe ensures that everyone feels secure, valued and able to learn in a supportive environment.

Our school values and behavioural expectations help create a culture where every child feels supported, confident and inspired to flourish.

OUR MISSION:

An extraordinary education for every pupil.
