At Charles Darwin we are:

·      Successful learners

·      Confident individuals

·      Responsible citizens 

We achieve this by imparting lasting knowledge to all our children, through an inspiring and challenging curriculum and a genuine understanding and appreciation of each child.

Our teaching is energising, purposeful and underpinned by continuous improvement, so that all children and staff are motivated to learn, share and retain knowledge.   

We deepen and extend learning through rich experiences, drawing on our supportive and diverse school community and the advantages of our proximity in the heart of Norwich City Centre, and important sites of historic and cultural interest.

We take pride in how we do things.  Our values and three pillars are deeply felt, lived and celebrated.   The difference this makes is tangible – our children, staff and parents/carers benefit from a positive culture of achievement, kindness, inclusivity and belonging.

As children progress through the school, we create opportunities for memorable academic, social and emotional learning.  Together, these build the foundations of knowledge, confidence and resilience needed for success and opportunity in their lives within and beyond Charles Darwin Primary School.

Our Values

The core values of independent, valued, resilient, confident and engaged underpin our school vision. We ensure these values are embedded through our 3 pillars: Athlete Mentality; Exceptional Outcomes and Creativity.

Our three pillars are:

• Athlete Mentality
• Creative Arts
• Exceptional Outcomes

All pupils are provided with the opportunities, knowledge and freedom from our three pillars for their development both academically and personally.

We believe that through these pillars we can instil our core values and achieve our ambitious vision.
