School Aims

 In a calm and caring environment Crook Log Primary School endeavours to provide children with the confidence and skills to achieve a high standard in all areas of school life. Through sound teaching and in close partnership with parents we believe that all pupils will leave Crook Log School with a continued sense of ambition, independence and a thirst for learning.

 This can be developed by

• encouraging them to co-operate and be actively involved in their own learning so that they may eventually achieve autonomy

• teaching them the skills to learn and become self-reliant

• helping them to acquire knowledge which will encourage an understanding of the world and its people, and help them adapt to changes

• fostering personal and moral values, such as respecting others, learning tolerance, self-discipline and concern for others

• having high but realistic expectations for each child in relation to age, aptitude and ability

• valuing their work by displaying it, sharing it with others, praising their efforts and ensuring a sense of worth and achievement.
