Welcome from the Head Teacher
Welcome to Berry Brow Infant and Nursery Academy.
It is both a privilege and a pleasure to welcome you to our wonderful school community. At Berry Brow, we believe that every child deserves to feel happy, safe, valued and inspired to achieve their very best. We are proud to be a warm, nurturing and inclusive school where every child is known as an individual and encouraged to flourish. Our vision is simple: to nurture confident, kind and ambitious learners who are ready to make a positive difference in the world. We strive to provide every child with the knowledge, skills and experiences they need to become curious, resilient and independent learners, while developing the confidence to embrace new challenges and opportunities.
As part of Impact Multi Academy Trust, our work is underpinned by the Trust’s commitment to ensuring that every child receives an exceptional education, regardless of their starting point. We share the Trust’s belief that ambition, inclusion, integrity and collaboration enable children to thrive. By working together with our families, our Trust and the wider community, we ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed.
Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. We celebrate each child’s individuality and are committed to removing barriers so that every learner can reach their full potential. Through high expectations, excellent teaching, enriching experiences and a culture of kindness and respect, we encourage all children to believe in themselves and aspire to achieve highly, both academically and personally.
Berry Brow Infant and Nursery Academy is proud to be a true community school. We recognise that learning extends beyond the classroom and that strong relationships with parents, carers and our local community are fundamental to children’s success. We value these partnerships and work closely together to create a caring environment where everyone feels welcomed, respected and included.
Berry Brow Infant and Nursery Academy Vision
Our vision is to make our school a place where children thrive and feel a sense of belonging. We want our children to experience a wide range of opportunities and develop into resilient members of our community.
Central to our vision are the following key drivers which underpin the curriculum, the way we behave and our expectations.
- Our School Promise that everyone aims to be ‘Ready, Respectful and Safe’. Our promise is designed to promote a positive climate and learning culture within our school, provide a safe environment for all and help children enjoy positive experiences and relationships in school.
- High aspirations – Raising aspirations and aiming to be the very best that we can be. Challenging ourselves to dream, believe and achieve across a wide range of activities, we value what we measure.
- Knowledge and skills – Developing language and providing knowledge in order to apply a range of skills in different contexts is fundamental to our curriculum. We want children to have knowledge and skills that can be used to support their community and beyond.
- Personal Development – We strive to give children as many opportunities as possible. This is because children’s personal development is crucial to becoming a happy learner.
