It is my privilege to welcome you to Malcolm Sargent Primary School.
Our school aims to provide the best all-round education for children. The school's vision is 'Love to Learn' and is centred on our three core values:
This vision and our values are collectively encompassed into 'The Malcolm Sargent Way'.
My excellent staff team has very high expectations of our pupils, and we are very proud of their achievements, which prepare them exceptionally well for the future. Academically, our outcomes are consistently ranked in the top 20% of high-performing schools nationally. We are, however, equally proud of our emphasis on our pupils’ outstanding personal development, including their behaviour, manners and attitudes.
My staff team strives to provide an exciting and engaging curriculum, rich in opportunities for children, to further their interests and expertise. Of particular note is our emphasis on music, sport, and art. Unusually, for a primary school, we are proud to be able to employ specialist staff in these areas, similar to a secondary school, and the standards we achieve in these more vocational subjects, together with the core curriculum subjects, is exceptional.
Most of all, however, we recognise that all of our children are unique; each possessing different skills and abilities. Our values help us to nurture each individual child to be happy, to achieve, and to have fun during their seven years with us. It is an honour for me to be able to serve as Principal at our school, helping each of our pupils to achieve their full potential and to grow up as happy and balanced individuals.
For new parents who are looking to apply to our school, please visit the Parents/Admissions section by clicking here.
I would also urge you to look at the Curriculum section of our website, which includes a huge range of information by year group, including transition information for new Early Years Foundation Stage children.
I hope that you find our website useful, but please feel free to contact us should you have any queries. I would be delighted to guide you round our school and to help you with any questions you may have.
Mr T J Revell, Principal (BSc, NPQEL, Local Leader of Education)
