A big thank you to the parents/carers that have taken the time to complete the online Parent View survey. As key stakeholders in the school your views matter.

We'd really like all parents/carers to sign up to Parent View and give their views on the school. It honestly only takes 5 minutes.

We have, do and will make changes to the way the school operates and functions as a result of parent/carer feedback.

As well as Parent View, do feel free to share your ideas with Mrs Hughes, Mr Ripley or myself or indeed any of the team in person. We all want to work together to improve Lowther for the children.

Values

At Lowther we believe that children thrive in a learning environment where good choices are highlighted and praised. This environment is created and supported through positive relationships between everyone in the school community (adult/child, adult/adult and child/child), inside and outside the classroom. All adults recognise that they must model the behaviours they want to develop in children. Our approach seeks to benefit the whole community equally but recognises that individuals have different needs and capabilities.

Ready Respectful Safe

These three words embody Lowther's approach to behaviour expectations. They are used consistently and by everybody. They strike a balance between values and rules at school.

At Lowther we believe that a child's learning journey is a partnership between parents and carers, the school and the children themselves.

Children are at the centre of all we do inside and outside school.

Learning does not stop at the school gates, and so we will support families as their children grow and develop, and we expect families to help us to nurture a love of learning in their children and prepare them for a confident future. Our partnership agreement is a reminder of our shared commitment.
