Our Vision and Values - Brooke Primary Academy

A Venn Academy Trust School

– Together we will…

Venn is a pioneering academy trust, committed to building educational environments where all pupils are inspired to become lifelong learners who achieve the very highest standards possible.

Collaborating with all partners, the Trust works with its unique settings to create world class learning experiences for all.

Our Vision

Brooke Primary Academy is a happy and welcoming community. Our relationships are built on trust, integrity and respect for others and their differences. We foster a sense of value, pride and understanding between everyone involved in making our schools safe and supportive places to learn and play. There is always someone to talk to.

We provide an exciting and inspirational curriculum that is built around first-hand experiences and that is relevant for today’s world. Our expectations are high. We develop the children as confident explorers, critical thinkers and creative young people who are not afraid to ask questions and take risks. Our committed staff and our strong leaders know it is important to celebrate talents and to challenge individuals to realise their potential. We know everyone has the right to aim high and to shine; we can all be experts sometimes.

We strive to build foundations for lifelong learning and equip children for the next steps as young, confident and resilient adults.

We will inspire, excite and work together to create amazing memories.
