Welcome to Stoke Climsland School

Nestled amongst the fields of Duchy College grounds, in the historic village of Stoke Climsland, our school is a place where we strive to make all feel welcome, included and valued.

We are hugely proud of our school and all that we achieve together: as staff, as parents and as members of the wider community, we work hard to provide exceptional care and support alongside excellence in teaching and learning. As part of a federation with Calstock Primary School, we believe that education is about nurturing creativity and inquisitiveness. Our schools welcome children to a community of learning, broadening horizons, and providing the knowledge, skills and confidence to flourish in the wider world.

We hope that you enjoy exploring our website and if you would like to find out more then you are most welcome to contact us to arrange a visit.

I look forward to meeting you.

Our Vision, Values and Culture

We consider the responsibility of nurturing and educating all in our care such a privilege. We work together, with shared values and culture, to give all the opportunity to thrive. The years we get to spend with our children are a precious time, and we want them to experience a ‘wider enrichment of self’ while they are with us, so they are confident and equipped for now, and the next steps in their future learning journey.

We want to empower our children, to build their self-esteem and self-worth. We want them to be empathic and care about others. We want them to emit warmth, kindness and friendship. We want them to be aspirational, to be the best that they can be.

It is critical to continue to explicitly recognise how our values influence all aspects of school life – teaching and learning, school improvement, engagement with our communities.  The curriculum we offer is rooted in those values. We believe in the importance of going beyond the ‘what’ of knowledge, to explore the ‘how’ and ‘why’. We believe that every action, every piece of work, every encounter must be rooted in our core values.

Our Federation Values

 

‘Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviour. Keep your behaviour positive because your behaviour becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.’

Mahatma Gandhi
  • Equity – We value just and fair inclusion in which all can participate, prosper and fulfil their potential. We aim to create meeting places among differences.
  • Empathy – We value authentic relationships and the right for all children and adults to have their feelings, emotions and thoughts understood, such that everyone can be happy and develop a sense of belonging. We are considerate and tolerant of each other.
  • Integrity – We value the expectation that all children’s and adult’s actions and words will be grounded in sincerity. We aim for everyone to develop the confidence to be true to themselves.
  • Perseverance – We value challenge and encourage all children and adults to be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort and keep on learning. We strive to be the best we can be.
  • Inspiration – We value the richness of learning and the range of opportunities which allow children and adults to think; to be inquisitive, innovative, creative and imaginative. We want our children to be filled with a recurring sense of awe and wonder, to broaden their horizons and be curious.
  • Gratitude – We value what we have and encourage all children and adults to be thankful, expressing this gratefulness in actions as well as in words. We cherish our human and physical world and seek to respect nature, both near and far, protecting the environment and all the creatures that populate it.
