Our vision
At Surrey Downs Primary School, our vision of “Valuing Success and Maximising Potential” is at the heart of everything we do. It shapes our approach to teaching and learning, ensuring that our students thrive in all aspects of their lives.
We are a community of learners committed to helping every student succeed. We believe success is more than academic achievement—it is about building the skills, knowledge, and character that enable personal and professional growth.
As educators, we are dedicated to helping each student realise their potential. We strive to create an inclusive, supportive, and collaborative learning environment where every student feels valued and empowered on their educational journey.
Our teaching practices are grounded in the latest research and best practices in education. We focus on developing critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, while offering diverse learning opportunities tailored to individual needs and interests.
Collaboration is a key part of our philosophy. Students are encouraged to work together, supporting and learning from one another. Our teachers work closely with families to create a cohesive, community-oriented environment that maximises each student’s potential.
Ultimately, our vision is about shaping well-rounded individuals equipped with the skills, knowledge, and character to succeed in a rapidly changing world. We are proud to support our students as they achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
Our values

Quality is a value that is reflected in everything we do. We strive for excellence in our teaching, our facilities, and our resources, and we are committed to providing our students with the highest quality learning opportunities possible.
Finally, Success is a value that is important to us because we want our students to be successful both inside and outside the classroom. We believe that success is about more than just achieving good grades; it is about developing the skills, knowledge, and character that will help our students succeed in all aspects of their lives.
Together, these values underpin the rich learning opportunities that we provide our students, and we are proud to help them develop into well-rounded individuals who are ready to make a positive contribution to the world.
