Ethos

At Suttons Primary we believe we develop a strong ethos in children

We believe the following:

Your child will learn to:

• Observe, listen, discuss, plan, enquire, invent and construct;
• Read with enjoyment and understanding;
• Solve problems;
• Calculate;
• Understand mathematical concepts;
• Make music;
• Collect and organise information;
• Study the local and wider environment and understand times and places beyond their experience;
• Work with computers and calculators;
• Communicate and express ideas and feelings in speech and writing, drama, art and music;
• Be aware of Christianity and other major world religions.

And will be encouraged to:

• Appreciate literature, art and music;
• Have a critical awareness of the media;
• Be questioning and discriminating;
• Develop any special talents;
• Work co-operatively;
• Care for the environment;
• Care for others;
• Concentrate and persevere;
• Be able to consider philosophical questions and appreciate different points of view; and
• Be reflective.

"Pupils learn about different cultures and faiths, and grapple with philosophical questions such as, 'Should we help or punish bullies?' "
