Blenhein Primary School

At Sheringham we strive to enable and inspire all children to be happy, healthy and successful in their learning

Sheringham Primary School is a dynamic and vibrant school where every child acquires a high quality education and an unforgettable childhood experience. We provide a happy, safe and caring environment where each person feels valued and excellence and enjoyment are embedded.

HAPPY

Sheringham children develop positive relationships, build strong friendships and know that they belong within the school community. They understand the importance of being kind and looking after each other. A Sheringham child enjoys a wide variety of curriculum and enrichment experiences that ensure they love coming to school every day. When they leave us for secondary school, they’ll have a strong sense of self-identity and be excited to work towards their dreams and aspirations.

HEALTHY

Sheringham children are fully equipped with the knowledge and drive to make healthy choices. They enjoy learning a wide variety of sports, understand nutrition and know how to make a healthy meal, and have a toolkit of strategies for recognising and managing their mental health. Sheringham children understand the importance of healthy relationships and know how to stay safe as they move into the next stage of their education.

SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR LEARNING

Sheringham children are supported in making fantastic progress in their learning. We know that mastering reading, writing and maths opens the door to future education and opportunity. Where children need extra help, they receive high quality support in the classroom through personalised interventions and specialist programmes, and for some children through our effective SEND provision. Children are motivated to be resilient, curious, analytical problem solvers within a rich curriculum, which results in high outcomes across the full range of subjects.

 

  

Our Values

Sheringham is a values driven school, but we also believe that our values are complex and not easily summed up in a few words.

Sheringham is a school that constantly thinks, talks and questions, considering which values to prioritise in any given situation, and how to make this an active and explicit process for ourselves, our children, staff and school community.

You’ll learn a lot about how we learn at Sheringham and what we think is important by reading the different sections of this website. Here are some of the headlines!

Learning In Harmony

This is our school motto and it refers to the fact we learn better together.

We have a highly collaborative culture where staff and children respect each other and work as a team to learn the best we can. ‘Learning partners’ is a highly successful strategy that we use in every lesson, to ensure that learning is an active, challenging process. All staff work in teams, to support and challenge each other, which helps us achieve highly and makes for a fun workplace!

Some of the words and phrases you’ll hear a lot at Sheringham are:

Growth Mindset

We believe, and our children believe, that almost anything can be learned with sufficient time and effort. We dislike putting children in boxes with terms like ‘clever’ and ‘low-abilty’ and instead encourage children to be resilient in the face of challenge, and persistent in reaching their goals.

Respect

While we enjoy a relaxed atmosphere at Sheringham, our excellent behaviour is due to a climate of shared respect. We are a multi-cultural school where difference is valued and rules are followed out of a sense of shared responsibility.

Mastery

We believe that we have a responsibility to ensure that all our children succeed – not in a quick, superficial sense but in a deeper way where children can take the required skills and knowledge and apply them in complex ways.

Education is not a race to see who can get to the end the fastest – we believe that we can extend and support children within their own age group curriculum. This is how our children will be best prepared for secondary school and life beyond.
