School Ethos

Pirton School has been at the centre of village life since 1877. We currently have 6 classes of which 2 are mixed age classes. Our cohort numbers vary which means that we have classes of varying sizes. The children in our school are taught in classes but are very much part of the wider school community and this is nurtured from the very beginning of their time with us through the house system, pupil groups and shared lunch and playtimes. 

We have three shared Golden Rules which are the common language of our school. These are reinforced through our weekly Celebration Assemblies. Our Golden Rules are: 

  • Be kind
  • Be safe 
  • Be positive

 

In addition we have 6 learning behaviours which are, like the school rules, embedded through our school and our shared language for adults and children. We ask, expect and value the following learning behaviours: 

  • Readiness
  • Resourcefulness
  • Readiness
  • Reflectiveness
  • Responsibility 
  • Respectfulness
