Ethos
We are a strong, aspirational community founded on positive and respectful relationships; every individual is known and supported in their learning and personal development. We aim to inspire our students with a love of learning, a desire to innovate and a sense of discovery and optimism for their twenty first century world.
We offer a rich curriculum and our commitment to promoting student leadership and co-construction means that students are actively engaged in developing the school and shaping their own learning. Our teachers recognise individual learning styles, as well as the need to encourage independent and collaborative learning.
We aim to:
- Create aspirational students for whom success and the pursuit of excellence is an expectation.
- Empower our students to maximise their potential and develop the skills they need to live independent and happy lives.
- Provide a relevant academic curriculum which supports students to become responsible citizens, well equipped for the technological and global society in which they will live.
- Develop system leadership at all levels and ensure that it drives creativity and improvement across the school.
- Increase further the occurrence of ‘outstanding’ teaching across the school.
Headteacher's Welcome
Thank you for taking the time to visit Springfield’s website.
Whether you are a student (current or future), parent (current or future), prospective employee or other visitor, we hope that you are able to access the information that you require. If you are looking for general information about the school and its ethos, you might find our prospectus to be the best starting point. Our website also hosts a number of short films showing the school in action.
We are a large and inclusive school community with over 1100 students on roll. The school has an established history of excellent practice and high achievement; in October 2019, Ofsted again judged the school to be good, stating that 'Leaders are determined to provide a high-quality education for all pupils, regardless of their ability or circumstances'.
The pursuit of excellence underpins everything that we do. We aim to work closely with our different stakeholders to ensure that each and every student who comes through our door gets the very best opportunities that will set them on the path for an exciting, successful and fulfilling future.
Enjoy the website. If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards
