We believe that a happy child is a successful one, therefore emotional wellbeing and mental health is at the heart of our aspirations. Our school is united by everyone’s dedication to maximising pupils’ personal development and wellbeing. All of our staff understand that emotional health is closely linked to mental health and that, as a school, we can encourage positive development of mental health in childhood. Consequently, this is embedded across the curriculum to allow us to develop healthy and happy children who are ready to take on the challenges they may face in school and beyond.
At LPA, we challenge all children to strive for academic, creative, sporting and personal accomplishment within a wideranging, engaging, relational and enriched curriculum. Our children are given time to explore subjects and develop deep understanding. We encourage children to take ownership of and responsibility for their learning, so they have the confidence and curiosity to ask questions, solve problems and reflect and respond to high quality written and verbal developmental feedback. Children are praised for their ability to collaborate, their perseverance and self-belief and positive attitudes towards their learning.
