At Backworth, we make sure every pupil is ready to take on learning and life with confidence. We encourage them to read widely and think deeply, engaging with a range of texts that introduce a diversity of perspectives, challenge ideas, and help develop critical thinking. To us, learning isn’t just about the classroom—it’s about experiencing beyond the expected, exploring all aspects of the curriculum, from arts to sports to problem-solving and beyond, helping pupils find what excites them. We want pupils to aim high and achieve their best, setting ambitious goals, taking on challenges, and building the resilience needed to achieve their potential. We help them develop their well-being, creating a culture where kindness, self-awareness, and personal growth matter. We know no one flourishes alone, so we emphasise that community is important. We encourage our children to think towards a positive future, showing pupils the value of respect, resilience, and responsibility as they prepare to make a difference in the world. This vision shapes everything we do, ensuring every pupil leaves ready for whatever comes next.
