At Eastcombe, we encourage all of our children to ‘Aim High, Believe and Achieve‘. We firmly believe that we are preparing our pupils for not just the next test, but for their life ahead. This therefore includes developing their enjoyment of the arts, sport, music as well as the essential skills of reading, writing, numerical competence, enquiry, co-operation and so on.
Our school values are intrinsic to everything we do:
Respect
To be kind and caring and look after each other.
Responsibility
Be accountable for your behaviour and act as you want to be treated.
Resilience
Empowered to learn from their mistakes and be confident to have another go.
Kindness
Being selfless, caring and compassionate through kind acts such as a smile, a nice word, an unexpected deed, or a planned surprise.
Collaboration
Working with others to achieve your objectives. Be more than an individual.
We are ambitious for our pupils and their potential.
Pupils of all abilities make good progress at our school and achievement is consistently above the national targets. We aim for every pupil to reach their potential and have the chance to shine at what they are good at and enjoy. Our class sizes are smaller than average, meaning that pupils can be afforded more attention by the adults. Pupils stay in each class for more than one year. Consequently, the teaching staff get to know them very well and are able to address their needs at a very individual level.
