Welcome to Parsons Down Partnership of Schools
Our Partnership is made up of Parsons Down Infant School and Parsons Down Junior School, and I am delighted to introduce myself as the Headteacher. My name is Miss Alice Mills, and I have the privilege of leading this wonderful community.
Our Vision
At Parsons Down Partnership of Schools, we believe that every child belongs, is valued and has the opportunity to flourish.
Through an inclusive and nurturing community, we support every child's mental and physical wellbeing, enabling them to develop confidence, resilience and a lifelong love of learning.
Our active, ambitious curriculum inspires curiosity and broadens horizons. We provide rich opportunities for children to explore the world around them, experience different cultures and perspectives, and develop an understanding of diversity. By encouraging kindness, respect and tolerance, we prepare our children to become compassionate, responsible citizens who celebrate difference and contribute positively to society.
Together, we foster high aspirations, helping every child to develop the knowledge, skills and character they need to lead healthy, happy and fulfilling lives.
Learn together. Grow together. Succeed together.
What We Aim to Achieve
Our curriculum is designed to ensure that every child develops the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to succeed in school and beyond. Whilst fulfilling the requirements of the National Curriculum, we go beyond statutory expectations by providing rich, meaningful learning experiences that reflect our local community while broadening children's horizons.
We aim to:
· deliver an ambitious, active curriculum that inspires curiosity, creativity and a love of learning;
· provide experiences that deepen children's understanding of the wider world, different cultures and diverse communities;
· nurture confident, resilient learners who are equipped to make healthy choices and develop positive relationships;
· foster respect, empathy and tolerance so that children value difference and contribute positively to society;
· ensure every child, regardless of their starting point, is supported and challenged to achieve their very best.
Through these experiences, we prepare children not only for the next stage of their education but also for happy, healthy and fulfilling lives.
We hope our website provides a useful insight into life at Parsons Down, showcasing our curriculum, strong values, and sense of community that shape our schools. However, nothing compares to experiencing it for yourself. Visits to the school are warmly welcomed, and we would be delighted to show you around. Please contact the school office on 01635 866700 to arrange a visit or to find out more.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our Partnership. We look forward to working closely with you as your child continues their learning journey.
