At Campton Academy, we aim to ensure that all children are well-motivated and enthusiastic, enjoy school, have high aspirations and achieve their personal best in all areas of the curriculum. Respect, care and courtesy for others is actively encouraged and individuals are valued for their ‘uniqueness’.  Members of staff work as a highly professional team and are totally committed to providing the best learning experience possible for each child.  

If your child is achieving at a level either well-above or well-below the rest of the class, the class teacher will seek advice in the first instance from the school’s Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator.

Parents will always be involved in any decision to provide any additional or different support or extension activities for their child.  Whatever your child’s ability and potential, our aim is to provide the best opportunities we can for everyone at our school.  

Our philosophy at Campton Academy can be summed up in our School Motto:      

Every learner valued. Every opportunity seized, Every achievement celebrated!

When asked what they have been doing in school that day, many children will say ‘Can’t remember’ or ‘Nothing’ or may tell you what they ate for lunch, if hard-pressed!

In addition to the curriculum information on the school’s website, we share an important sheet of paper at the beginning of every term (for the children in Reception this is provided more frequently) so that parents have some idea of what is happening in school.  

The ‘What is my child learning?’ sheet informs you of the areas of learning your child will be covering, with suggestions about ways in which you might support their learning at home.  On the reverse of the ‘What is my child learning?’ sheet will be printed the latest copy of the class timetable.  

From experience, we know that some children have a habit of losing anything that they are supposed to give their parents. If this happens, you will be able to access the same information on our website. 

When your child starts in our Hedgehogs class, there is a focus on learning through play as part of the learning and development requirements of the Early Years’ Foundation Stage curriculum.

Using both the classroom and the outdoor area, children are learning essential basic concepts and skills whilst thoroughly enjoying themselves.  Staff will support and extend children’s learning, whatever their ability.  

We have many opportunities for parents to become involved in life here at Campton!

Some parents, grandparents and others from the community are able to offer support in school as a volunteer helper.  If you would like to help in school, please ask at the School Office for a form to indicate when you would be available and which class(es) and areas of learning you would like to support.  

We also have an active PTA 'Friends of Campton' parents are automatically members and we warmly encourage involvement as a great way to be connected to your child's school life! Find out more about our PTA here

We have a team of governors who offer support and challenge to the school leadership team. Parent governors form an essential part of this team. If you are interested in supporting the school to achieve the best outcomes for its pupils and would like to find out more, please contact Mr Stupple (Chair of Governors) astupple@bestacademies.org.uk.
