Sudbourne Primary School is a popular maintained 1.5 form entry school in Brixton, within the London Borough of Lambeth. We are a friendly, multicultural community school taking children from age 3 -11 years. The wellbeing of our children is at the heart of our work and we have a reputation for developing and nurturing children both academically and pastorally. We ensure all children have the best opportunity to build their learning and self-confidence within a safe, diverse, creative, happy and stimulating learning environment. We have 329 pupils on our roll.
Our values
Our school values are built around aspiration, celebration, kindness, positivity and mutual respect. It is our mission that Sudbourne children leave the school with a strong sense of self, independence, and an eagerness to learn. We want our children to have high aspirations, to be resilient and resolute, and have very positive attitudes. We focus on equipping them with the skills to work hard, build the knowledge and talents they will need to play a full part in their communities and be responsible in a challenging world. This enables them to become self-confident, respectful and caring people who believe that nothing is beyond them. We value and proudly celebrate the diversity of the school community and nurture the wellbeing, self-confidence, sense of responsibility and self-esteem of all, within a safe and happy learning environment.
Our vision
At Sudbourne Primary School we are passionate about lifelong learning for all; we embrace change and look forward to the future with confidence and enthusiastically prepare children to make wise choices as they face the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
Our staff are enthusiastic, collaborative, inclusive and reflective in their work, ensuring that all children learn exceptionally well from their different starting points. They plan and deliver a curriculum that is broad and engaging, and this means pupils of all ages make rapid progress. Consequently, their attainment is high by the time they leave. We have high expectations of staff and through professional development enhance and specialise in particular skills to support the specific needs of our children. Our school was rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in 2008, and we are looking to you as our new Headteacher to consolidate and build on this.
We hold to the values we share, providing guidance, help and support to realise our vision with integrity, honesty, professionalism and commitment as part of a team. We communicate clearly the vision and values of the school throughout our community and have great support from many people, including our parents, carers and governors. The support of the PTA has provided our children with additional resources, funding for educational visits and special visitors. This greatly supports our ability to provide a curriculum that is vibrant, meaningful and full of memorable experiences. We work together collaboratively to achieve the best and celebrate the successes of all.
