Vision and Values


Sir Alexander Fleming is a learning community from the Early Years to the end of Key Stage Two where…

We believe that we make a difference by creating a secure, stimulating, supportive environment where emotional health and well-being are prioritised, and children are given the confidence to face setbacks with hope and resilience. Our children develop independent learning skills, courage and self-confidence; they reflect on their ideas, use their initiative and believe that they can and will succeed

This allows children to build their knowledge and understanding through learning that captures their interests, stimulates their imagination and allows them to be proud of themselves. Our children know more and remember more because their learning journey is exciting and engaging from the very beginning. A love of reading is at the heart of every child’s learning journey from the Early Years until Year 6 and beyond.

We believe that children should develop respect for themselves, value the contributions of others and acquire the skills to be safe and succeed, in our ever-changing society. We understand children’s wellbeing is at the centre of everything that we do and is fundamental to achieving success. Our pupils feel safe, happy and supported in their learning and we ensure that they acquire the skills to staying safe when online both in school and at home.

Dreams and aspirations are harnessed and nurtured with exciting and engaging school trips and visitors leading to life-long memories. Every child is given the opportunity to develop their interests and skills in a wide variety of the arts including music and drama. Outdoor learning opportunities are enjoyed by every child; this contributes to their knowledge and understanding of subjects.

Children that attend Sir Alexander Fleming extend their experience, knowledge, imagination and understanding so that they are brave enough to realise their potential for learning and their capacity for enjoyment.

Our Core Values

Sir Alexander Fleming Primary and Nursery School is built upon five core values. We expect our students to exhibit and display these core traits in their daily life at school, within the wider community and as they move into the next phase of their life once they leave our educational setting.

We want all of our children, school family and Governors to be:

Our School Motto

When choosing our new school motto we wanted to ensure that our children were at the heart of it and that it had meaning.

Belonging: knowing where and with whom you belong is integral to human existence. Children belong first to a family, a cultural group, a neighbourhood and a wider community. Belonging acknowledges interdependence with others and the basis of relationships. Throughout life, relationships are crucial to a sense of belonging. Belonging is central to being and becoming in that it shapes who children are and who they can become.

Being: childhood is a time to be, to seek and make meaning of the world. Being recognises the significance of the here and now in children’s lives. It is about the present and them knowing themselves, building and maintaining relationships with others, engaging with life’s joys and complexities, and meeting challenges in everyday life.

Becoming: children’s identities, knowledge, understandings, capacities, skills and relationships change during childhood. They are shaped by many different events and circumstances. Becoming reflects this process of rapid and significant change that occurs in the early years as young children learn and grow. It emphasises learning to participate fully and actively in society.

Protected Characteristics

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 in order:

  • Age
  • Disability
  • Gender reassignment
  • Marriage or civil partnership
  • Race
  • Religion or belief
  • Sex/gender
  • Sexual orientation
  • Pregnancy and maternity

At SAF, we actively promote these in our curriculum and work to embed them into our ethos.

Our Personal Development Curriculum, PE, History and RE curriculums and assemblies are designed so that all children are aware of discrimination and, as a result, we all work hard to ensure everyone at SAF or in our community is included and accepted.
