Great Teaching, Great Outcomes
We believe that every child deserves a great teacher—someone who inspires, challenges, and supports them to thrive. Great teaching is the most powerful lever for improving student outcomes, and we are committed to ensuring that every classroom is led by a teacher who is empowered to make a lasting impact.
To make this possible, we also believe that every teacher deserves access to high-quality professional development. At Edenthorpe Hall Academy, we invest in our staff through purposeful, evidence-informed CPD that is collaborative, reflective, and focused on improving practice. By supporting our teachers to grow and excel, we directly enhance the learning experience and outcomes for every student.
Our Teaching and Learning Policy explains how we teach at Edenthorpe Hall:
Developing the Whole Pupil at Edenthorpe Hall Primary Academy
At Edenthorpe Hall, we believe education is about more than academic success—it’s about developing the whole child. We’re a school where curiosity is encouraged, mistakes are embraced as part of the learning journey, and every child is supported to reach their full potential.
Character is just as important as progress, and we take pride in helping children become thoughtful, responsible individuals who are ready to thrive in life beyond school.
Our Five Core Values
Our values sit at the heart of everything we do:
- Curiosity – Inspiring children to ask questions and explore the world around them.
- Scholarship – Striving for excellence and a love of learning in every subject.
- Tenacity – Building resilience and determination to overcome challenges.
- Honesty – Encouraging integrity and responsibility in all aspects of life.
- Respect – Promoting kindness, empathy, and appreciation of diversity.
Whether it’s showing resilience in a tricky maths lesson, asking great questions during a science experiment, or showing kindness to a friend, these values guide how we learn, play, and grow together.
Relationships Matter
We believe every child should feel known and valued. Strong relationships between staff and pupils—and between home and school—are key to success. That’s why we work closely with families and encourage open, honest communication. We’re here to support each child, every step of the way.
A Place to Belong
At Edenthorpe Hall, we strive to create a school where children love coming in each day—a place where they feel safe, challenged, and proud of who they are becoming.
