At the heart of our learning at Ordsall Primary School is the ancient proverb I hear things, and I forget them. I see things, and I remember them. I do things, and I understand them. This ancient proverb is demonstrated no more clearly than in the words Play, Learn and Grow Together and it is our aim that by focussing on each key part our children will learn that:
By Playing Together they will....
Develop curiosity of mind and spirit
Create, explore and discover
Adapt and cooperate
Learn, practice and master skills AND
Achieve and Aspire to be the “best that they can be”
By Learning Together they will.....
Experience wider opportunities beyond the school
Develop essential skills, knowledge and understanding
Build character, resilience, confidence and independence
Communicate and collaborate as part of a team
Apply learning across a broad, balanced, rich and exciting curriculum AND
Achieve and Aspire to be the “best that they can be”
By Growing Together they will.......
Know that we all have the same rights and needs
Develop integrity and an understanding of what is right and wrong
Develop tolerance and acceptance of people's individual characteristics
Inspire others and celebrate every achievement
Work together, in partnership, as a wider community of learners AND
Achieve and Aspire to be the “best that they can be”
The phrase "Play, Learn and Grow Together" is the heartbeat of our school and through it, it is our mission to ensure that our children are well-rounded, caring, resilient, respectful and resourceful learners who will develop interpersonal skills, cognitive skills and system skills so that they can be the best that they can be and are well equipped for the 21st century.
