At Kingsbury Primary we 'Reach for the Stars'
Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.
We value and respect all members of our school community. We encourage and inspire all to be resilient learners with high aspirations. We work to ensure that all children will receive an excellent education and achieve high academic standards. We provide a safe, happy and vibrant learning environment, which develops their sense of responsibility and enables them to be confident and caring citizens of the wider world.

Promoting Fundamental British Values
In accordance with The Department for Education we aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law.
The Key British Values are:
· democracy
· rule of law
· individual liberty
· mutual respect
· tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
Promoting the Protected Characteristics at Kingsbury Primary School
We work to ensure that our children understand that:
Everyone is different
We celebrate our differences
We are all equal in our differences
There are no outsiders at Kingsbury Primary school
The Equality Act became law in 2010. It covers everyone in Britain and protects people from discrimination, harassment and victimisation. Everyone in Britain is protected. This is because the Equality Act protects people against discrimination because of the protected characteristics that we all have. Under the Equality Act, there are nine Protected Characteristics:
At Kingsbury Primary school, we actively promote these in our curriculum and work to embed them into our ethos.
