VISION
‘Growing Together. Empowered to be more.’
This motto is symbolic of life at our school.
Urmston Primary is a happy, outward-facing place at the heart of the community. It is an inclusive place where everyone belongs and everyone knows how to make each other feel safe, seen, heard and valued. Our kind and caring children and staff make every moment matter and are proud to be part of our school. Pupils are increasingly self-aware and empathetic, taking responsibility for their choices and actions and urging others to do the same, being respectful of people’s uniqueness at all times. All staff support the children on a journey to becoming resilient and comfortable in making mistakes and learning from them, realising that they are part of learning, make them better people and help them be the best that they can be, academically, personally and socially. Our children’s desire to understand and better themselves means that they love a challenge and support each other to achieve, with kindness and the passion to make the world a better place being the main motivator.
