Welcome
Welcome to Haddon Primary and Nursery School!
A very warm welcome to Haddon.
We may look like a small 'ordinary' school on the outside however inside you will find a modern and exciting learning environment, extensive school grounds, happy, polite and eager to learn wonderful children and a talented and committed staff who go the extra mile for each and every child. Our skilled, committed and caring team make a tremendous effort to get to know each individual child and their families to enable them to grow into confident, aspirational, independent, life-long learners who DREAM BIG and AIM HIGH both throughout their primary school journey and into their lives beyond the school gates.
Our Haddoners lie at the heart of everything we do.
Our dedicated team take great pride in enhancing the lives of the children we serve by offering the best possible learning opportunities. We accomplish this through our ambitious, broad and diverse curriculum which has a clear focus on English and Mathematics and has reading sitting at its heart. In addition, we celebrate the differences between each of our children, recognising and celebrating their individuality and using this to enhance our strong personal development curriculum which we support through excellent pastoral provision.
We are a proud member of the Flying High Trust. Being part of Flying High allows us to benefit from a strong network of over thirty primary schools across Nottinghamshire, Nottingham City and Derbyshire who all work closely together to ensure that we are providing the best education possible for our children. Flying High Trust is one of highest performing Trusts in the country and, along with the other schools in the trust, we aim to continue to build on this to be the best schools in the universe!
At Haddon, we believe in the importance of a strong partnership between home and school and strive to involve parents as key partners in their children's education. Ultimately, and above all else, our priority is that our children feel happy, safe and valued.
Our key aims are to ensure that all of us ( staff, parents, governors and children) use our DREAM values in order to:
•Be a place where all children, and staff, feel happy, safe, valued and want to be every day
•Ensure everyone (children and adults) is able to reach their true potential as an individual no matter what their background or start point
•Support our children (and staff) to leave us with the skills, knowledge, confidence and core values to succeed both in the next stage of their education and in their adult lives as global citizens ready for jobs that may not exist yet
•Be a focal point for the community and work in partnership with parents so they can be a key part in their children’s education
