Welcome from the Headteacher

Bickley Primary school is a popular and over-subscribed school where children are happy and achieve well. The high quality of teaching and learning leads to consistently high levels of attainment, and children of all abilities and backgrounds are welcomed and nurtured.

The school motto is:

All different - All equal - All achieve

This permeates everything we do at school. Our main purpose is to ensure that the uniqueness of every child is celebrated and factored into the teaching and learning opportunities, enabling everyone to succeed.

Kindness is a quality that is expected and celebrated across the school, and visitors often comment on how evident the focus on this quality is.

The staff and children work hard to develop and demonstrate our school values, which are:

Respect

Friendship

Equality

Courage

Determination

Inspiration

Excellence

At Bickley, we pride ourselves on having a broad and balanced curriculum that provides opportunities for specific talents in areas such as music, sport and art to be identified and nurtured. We have a wide range of before school, lunchtime and after school clubs and participate in many sporting and music events.

We have identified a set of learning skills that we consider to be the building blocks for lifelong learning:

• Resilience
• Curiosity
• Collaboration and communication
• Reflection
• Creativity and imagination
• The ability to take safe risks

Bickley Primary School is set on extensive grounds and our children benefit greatly from the space and facilities on offer for sports and outdoor learning. We are lucky to have supportive parents and governors and welcome and encourage parents to come in and support and share their skills.
