Values & Ethos
At Goffs Oak Primary and Nursery School we are committed to securing high quality outcomes for all children.
We work in partnership with parents to provide a secure and stimulating environment in which the children can develop intellectually, spiritually, socially, emotionally and physically through a range of experiences and opportunities. We offer a broad, balanced and creative curriculum in which high expectations and standards are worked towards in order to support each child’s efforts to achieve their full potential.
We encourage children to make every effort to try their hardest, both in their academic work and in their personal behaviour in environment that fosters co-operation, self-confidence, independence, tolerance, pride and above all the desire to learn.
