Values and vision
Springfield School’s vision is to provide a stimulating and meaningful curriculum which will help nurture students as responsible citizens who will contribute positively to society. It wishes for all students to develop an enjoyment for learning and a desire to succeed. It works to encourage all students to reach their potential in all aspects of school life, recognising that individuals have different learning styles. Students are encouraged to get involved in extra-curricular activities to expand their opportunities and experiences outside of the classroom - including personal development programmes such as PSHE, where students learn the importance of democracy and respect in a diverse multi-cultural society. Trips and sports clubs are also organised, along with music lessons and the opportunity to complete the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
Ofsted
“Students, staff and parents and carers are very satisfied with the behaviour in this school and this extends to those students who attend off-site courses or other activities. Teaching across the school is typically good and there is some outstanding practice, especially in English, mathematics and humanities”.
