Reay Primary

Reay Primary School is a one form entry school based in the heart of Lambeth, South London. The school caters for pupils from aged 3-11. The population of the school is very diverse with 48% of the pupils speaking English as a second language and 48% entitled to pupil premium funding.

Reay Primary School is an exciting, stimulating and creative primary school. We believe that ‘there is no full stop to learning’ for adults and children alike and work hard to ensure that our school continues to move forward.

With the help of our pupils, staff, parents and community we aim to stand out from the crowd by delivering an education that allows our pupils to have an infectious enthusiasm for learning and are well prepared for their next stage of their schooling.

Our vision is to enable children to become lifelong learners by creating a safe and inclusive learning environment that nurtures individuality and enhances potential

Our values:

• We’re imaginative – we’re creative thinkers and doers
• We’re curious – we encourage inquisitiveness and risk taking
• We’re proud – we take pride in our school and want everyone to succeed
• We’re courageous – we understand that we learn from our mistakes
• We’re original – we celebrate difference

‘…enabling children to become lifelong learners…’

We aim to embed current practice and introduce new initiatives which will enable our children to continue acquiring learning skills which will stay with them for life. In doing so we also aim to ensure that we maintain our school’s record of excellent academic achievement where pupils meet at least national expectations at key assessments, and benchmark rigorously against similar local schools, whilst ensuring learning is fun and engaging.

“…creating a safe and inclusive learning environment…”

We aim to continue to provide a learning environment which is safe, secure and enriched for pupils and staff, enabling all to participate, question and experiment, so that children are confident to take risks and make mistakes in their learning to allow them to progress.

We will have a clear focus on ensuring this environment benefits all pupils in our diverse school community, irrespective of ethnic or economic background, to ensure nobody is left behind.

We are developing our programme for emotional literacy in the school to support all children, not just pupils with Special Educational Needs.

“… that nurtures individuality and enhances potential…”

As well as achieving excellent academic performance, we also want to provide the children at Reay with a diverse set of curricular and extra-curricular activities to enrich their school experience and help them stand out from the rest. We will therefore continue to develop our arts and outdoor learning programmes.
