Class Teacher

Welcome to Durrington All Saints Church of England Infant School.

We are very proud to be a Church of England Primary Academy, part of the Acorn Education Trust. We aim to work together to provide a safe and secure environment where all our children can become confident and independent learners, working at their own level of ability in order to reach their full potential.

Within our Christian framework, we hope to foster the growth of our children both academically and spiritually; developing responsible, caring and happy individuals with the skills necessary to take their place in an ever-changing world.

At Durrington All Saints, our vision is to develop happy young people with enquiring minds, a spirit of curiosity, love and respect for themselves, others and the environment so that they will have the skills, resilience and adaptability to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Our school's Christian ethos, 'Together we Grow, We Learn, We Thrive', is underpinned by Jesus’ mustard seed parable: from the smallest seeds grow the greatest shrubs (Mt13v31-32). Valuing our community, together, we embody our vision: “With God’s guidance; sowing the seeds of success; nurturing and inspiring pupils and adults to flourish."

Just like the mustard tree flourishes and grows to hold a valuable position in the garden, we want to see every pupil flourish in their learning, their relationships with others and their personal growth. We aim to give our pupils the best start, preparing them for their secondary education and their role in modern British society.

While the mustard seed is tiny, with soil, water, air and sunlight it grows, becomes strong and attracts the birds to rest among its branches. We believe that all of our pupils have the potential to do well, to succeed in their learning and to become a valued member of society, regardless of their starting point. At Durrington All Saints C of E Infant School, every member of our school community is valued and cherished; both as an individual and for the contribution they make to the school body.

Children at Durrington All Saints C of E Infant School are rooted by our Christian vision and associated values; Respect, Perseverance, Honesty, Hope and Love. Our school community (including pupils, staff, parents, the church and our parish) is centred on the growth, development and safeguarding of our children.

The Acorn Education Trust was formed in August 2014 to create a local solution to a national strategy. Through close collaboration and a shared vision we believe each school will achieve great things while retaining their individual identity. Underpinning this close collaboration is a strong belief in our core purpose.

School improvement is the key to school effectiveness and is at the heart of the process of raising standards. It allows us to deliver an education for all children/students that is of the highest quality. The Acorn Education Trust is driven by its core purpose of improving outcomes and life chances for students and believes that an effective School Improvement Strategy is the key to unlocking the potential in its leaders, staff and children/students. An effective Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) uses the School Improvement Strategy to help ensure accountability, drive strategic thinking and deploy resources in order to improve outcomes for its children/students. Our leadership and management of each school is based on three principles:

Every school is an improving school

Leadership at every level is critical

The unique identity of each school must be preserved
