Welcome to our school website Together everyone achieves more find out more A welcome from our Principal “ I am privileged to introduce myself as the principal of Briscoe Lane Academy and welcome you to our school website. Within this site you will find lots of key information alongside ongoing school news updates. As principal I want to ensure that Briscoe Lane Academy continues in its ambition towards excellence.  I strongly believe that school is an opportunity for children to discover and unlock hidden talents in a safe and nurturing environment. Our innovative curriculum supports children in realising their potential whilst enabling them to develop key life skills and thereby prepare for the challenges they may face. This character curriculum is built on the seven key values of RESPECT (Resilience, Empathy, Self-awareness, Positivity, Excellence, Communication and Team work), and underpins the language, philosophy and ethos of our school. Our motto of ‘Together Everyone Achieves More’ is fundamental to our everyday practice and we thereby value the key role parents/carers play. We strive to develop positive partnerships between home and school and value all of your contributions. ‘Every child has the ability to do amazing things and be successful if we provide the right opportunities’ Mrs Hall — Claire Hall - Principal Our Mission Our mission is to deliver a top quality education to all of our children across the Trust by tackling the barriers to learning and responding to contextual needs. We are committed to ensuring that our children are ready for the next stage in their life, equipping them with the necessary skills both academically and socially. We believe that successful learners are encouraged through; hands-on experience, independence and the application of Basic Skills through challenge. The main focus of our Trust is therefore learning both inside the classroom and beyond, combining knowledge, respect and aspirations. Our Trust will carefully grow maintaining it’s family ethos at the heart. Academies will maintain their autonomy at local level whilst taking advantage of the wider school improvement offer to build strong capacity from within. It is this model that will ensure future sustainability for individual academies and the family of schools as we grow. Our Trust motto is TEAM and this underpins our aims and what we believe is important: A Happy Academy Briscoe Lane Academy is a happy academy, where children learn in a caring environment and are all valued. Creative Learning We aim to develop creative approaches to learning where children are engaged, excited and enthused about what they are learning and are going to learn. Lessons for Life At Briscoe Lane we want to foster a life long love of learning for its own sake and to help our pupils to become confident self disciplined individuals capable of playing a fruitful part in today’s society. Our Values The Wise Owl Trust is dedicated to the development of each child as an individual, and presenting them with the opportunities to succeed. We, as a Trust encourage our children to make the most of their strengths and embrace their areas for development, by developing confidence and a ‘can-do’ attitude. We believe that every child, however challenging their circumstances and whatever their background, can achieve. Our 7 Core Values are integral to the ethos of each of our Academies and help to shape the decisions we make: What's happening at Briscoe Lane?
