Vision

Learning at the Heart of our Community

It is our aim that Giles Brook is the central point of our community. Our children always come first and we want to motivate and equip them with the tools to develop into responsible individuals of the future. We endeavour to inspire confidence in all of our children so that there is no challenge they fear. Providing a nurturing environment along with a stimulating, engaging and creative curriculum, is essential to ensure our children are happy, courteous and respectful individuals who are passionate about learning and always aiming to achieve.

Positive relationships and collaboration between the children, staff, parents and governors are of the utmost importance to us so that our children enjoy the best possible start to their education. Access to the best resources and IT facilities is key in allowing our children to safely embrace the social, cultural and economic opportunities that instant global communication offers.

Pupils will leave Giles Brook ready for the challenges of the modern world - the future is limitless for our children.
