Our Aims and Values
Barons Court - The core of a collaborative, creative and confident community, making a difference and shaping lives.
Barons Court Primary School is based on the educational philosophy of Regio Emillio which was developed in Italy following World War II. This philosophy encompasses the learning environment in which Barons Court has been developed upon through our enriched environments which were created and developed in partnership with our children, community (the school working as a community and the school reaching out to the wider community) and a creative enquiry based curriculum which is planned alongside the children to foster their educational journey. Independence and child-centred learning is an integral element to our school life whether it be educationally, physically or emotionally.
Our school building, which was developed in partnership with the children, parents, staff and all stakeholders ensures that it meets the needs of our pupils and enhances their learning experiences and values. The children are taught in large open-plan learning spaces, which allow year groups to work and grow together – developing a strong sense of community. These spaces promote opportunities to teach in flexible groupings meeting the needs of all of our pupils along with our staff. The spaces are carefully designed to aid transition between and across Key Stages. Phase 1 houses our Nursery, Phase Two sees Reception working together. Phase 3 mixes Year 1, 2 and 3 and Phase 4 hosts Years 4, 5 and 6, all creating a rich learning environment for every member of our school community.
