Ethos and Values

Our School Vision

Creating opportunities - Building aspirations - Inspiring success

Kobi Nazrul is a place where school is an experience; we are rich in opportunities which support children to; find their talents, develop confidence and independence or build friendships and relationships. Our work is principle-centred allowing adults and children to develop their own style and therefore be their best. High standards in maths and English are non-negotiable and these skills are applied to our wider curriculum. We work together in a happy, safe and stimulating setting but our learning goes well beyond the walls of the classroom or school building – something our families really value. By maintaining high expectations of ourselves and each other, our children will be equipped to see barriers as challenges and contribute positively in the wider community, now and in the future with curiosity, resilience and determination.

VALUES
Our values were developed with careful consideration of the needs of our children. They reflect the way we want our children to grow and develop. They shine through our school experience. We use them explicitly, particularly when reflecting on our learning. Below, you can see what they mean to us.
