Martley CE Primary School and Pre-School strives to create a happy, safe and stimulating environment where children are motivated to learn together. By maintaining high expectations of ourselves and each other, our children will be equipped to encounter opportunities and challenges with resilience and determination. We encourage a curiosity about the world and strive to ensure that our children will contribute positively to it, both now and in the future.

To achieve this we want our children to become lifelong learners. Our aim is that all children become resilient learners; that they develop a variety of skills which foster and encourage independent and collaborative learning.

We firmly believe that we have a duty to ensure that all children deserve the best education possible. We all work together to allow pupils to flourish and achieve their best not just academically but in all areas of life. We provide a wide range of opportunities for children to practice and master the performing and visual arts and to develop their speaking and listening skills. We believe in active learning and in the importance of sustaining a healthy lifestyle.

We encourage children to embrace challenge, to be confident when faced with adversity but to know when to ask for support or guidance. Through a creative and engaging curriculum we aim to provide every child with the skills and knowledge they need to grow into confident, successful and loving members of their communities.

Our whole school curriculum is underpinned by our '5 C's'
