A warm welcome to Grange Primary School. We are proud to be leading this good and continuously improving school, with talented, hard-working pupils. Together with our parents and carers, we provide a safe and stimulating environment in which our children are inspired and learn to achieve their very best.
MISSION STATEMENT: "Our aim in Grange school is the same for every single child. We want all our pupils to have the best education. That will look different for each one of them. We all think differently, we come at things in different ways; we have different strengths and weaknesses. That is what is so special about the Grange school family – we are all the same and equal, but different. We celebrate our diversity".
All at Grange work with parents and the community to create an environment where everyone feels safe, valued, cared for and supported. The children are at the heart of all we do. We want them to be the best they can be in all aspects of their lives.
We believe learning should be exciting, stimulating and challenging. We regularly review our curriculum to enable the children to learn through experience. As we are fortunate to be so well placed near the centre of London, we make sure that educational visits to museums, art galleries and places of cultural and historical interest are an integral part of learning at Grange.
We are privileged to learn and work within a diverse community. A wide range of faiths, languages and cultures are represented in our school. Our core values enable children and staff to respect and value the rights of others, encouraging everyone to treat everyone else equally, ready to take their place in society. We consider any behaviour or attitude that threatens these rights as prejudice and we are committed to challenging prejudice wherever and whenever it arises.
We do not allow racist, sexist , or prejudiced name-calling, or harassment of any kind at this school. We do not want any child, group of children or individual to be made to feel inferior or left out of the life of the school. We want all children in this school to have equal opportunities in their work, play and relationships, so that they can develop, achieve and exceed their potential.
The work we do to facilitate children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development at Grange will support our commitment to equality of opportunity. All pupils are expected to have responsibility for others as well as themselves and must tell adults about any behaviour that is of concern.
Nursery and Reception year groups have separate classrooms on the ground floor and share the outside space. The children in Reception (Star and Moon classes) have opportunities to share the learning activities across both spaces, but mainly stay in their own classroom.
Every child is valued as an individual and independent learning is encouraged. When each child joins our Nursery or Reception classes, their strengths are identified. Teaching is planned in order to nurture children’s specific interests and to offer appropriate challenge to each child. Children are given opportunities to plan their own activities which are developed over time. We focus on the progression of key skills which children need in order to become confident and robust learners.
The EYFS curriculum is delivered through structured play where learning has been clearly identified. In the reception classes children also learn and make progress through structured whole class sessions, such as daily phonics lessons.
The curriculum is learnt across seven main areas. The first three are known as ‘Prime Areas’, as children’s development in these areas underpins all learning.

Specific Areas
Within the new National Curriculum, we have the flexibility to tailor the PSHE programme. This is fundamental given the ever changing and developing world in which are community advances. We find ourselves facing new challenges daily. Our responsibility is to look after the world in which we live, therefore we need to have constant awareness and practice to ensure that as individual’s we do this.
