Welcome to Yealmpstone Farm Primary School Welcome to Yealmpstone Farm Primary School Yealmpstone Farm Primary School is a vibrant and ambitious learning community that values individuality and inspires every child to believe in their potential.

Our aim is to nurture confident, skilled, and aspirational young people who are ready to make a positive contribution to society and understand their role in a globally connected world. Our curriculum introduces pupils to the very best ideas, knowledge, and creativity, fostering an appreciation of human achievement. Through a broad and balanced approach, we ensure children develop deep knowledge and transferable skills across all subjects, with strong links to our local context. Progression and continuity are built into every area, so pupils learn key skills and have opportunities to apply them meaningfully. We celebrate diversity and reflect the rich, multicultural heritage of our world throughout our curriculum.

We focus on three Big Ideas that we believe every child should understand by the time they leave us at age eleven: -

1. Values-Based Education: Our values guide choices and behaviours, creating a culture that is both challenging and supportive, and helping children grow into confident individuals.
2. Community and Global Responsibility: Children learn about the interconnectedness of our world and their responsibility to make it a better place for everyone.
3. The Power of Oracy: We believe every child should feel empowered to express themselves clearly and confidently, knowing their voice can make a positive difference. Our curriculum is carefully designed to embed and strengthen these principles.

We also follow a relational approach to behaviour, underpinned by three simple rules: Ready, Respectful, and Safe.

At Yealmpstone Farm, we value diversity and encourage every child to be the best they can be. Our dedicated staff have high aspirations for all pupils and continually strive to improve teaching and learning. We are proud of our beautiful school grounds, which provide excellent outdoor learning opportunities and are maintained by a committed team of volunteers, including parents, grandparents, and friends.

We are passionate about ensuring every child makes excellent progress from their starting point. Our curriculum is engaging, challenging, and rich in experiences that excite and inspire.

If you would like to learn more about our vision and approach, please get in touch—we would love to welcome you for a visit.
