Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day 

We are very proud that our school is a caring and special place where children grow, learn and flourish. Amherst children are always encouraged, often challenged and undoubtedly supported to be the best that they can be.

We aim to nurture and develop:

• Successful Learners who will achieve in many fields and excel in some.

• Confident  and motivated learners who are willing to meet a challenge and are able to take risks in their learning

• Happy and secure children who can contribute effectively to both the school and the wider community

• Responsible and caring citizens who have a well-developed sense of right and wrong and the conscience to make the right choice

We agree to: 

• Provide a stimulating and inspiring learning environment where children can learn and grow

• Deliver a flexible curriculum that meets our children’s needs

• Ensure that learning is matched to a child’s ability  and has the appropriate level of challenge

• Provide opportunities for children to develop as independent learners

• Build a positive challenging and nurturing ethos

• Value every child’s contribution and encourage them to respect and value those of others

• Identify, encourage, develop,  and celebrate our children’s many strengths and talents
