Values and vision
Mayflower Community Academy strives to be an inclusive school with aspirational values, committed to meeting the needs of its pupils and providing an outstanding education to help all achieve the best possible opportunities in life.
The primary school aims to offer a broad, exciting curriculum that embraces literacy, mathematics, science, technology and the environment. There is an emphasis on access to opportunities for education outside the classroom. Teachers promote an inclusive learning culture that values and respects all people equally. Diversity is seen as a source of learning and all children demonstrate tolerance and mutual respect.
Ofsted report
“The most able pupils are challenged, both by the tasks that are planned and by being able to work at their own pace. In a computing lesson, where some pupils needed help with the new program, pupils who understood how to get on carried on with their poster design. They did not ask permission to do this because it is the expectation in all lessons. In mathematics lessons, when practice tasks were completed, the most able pupils moved quickly and independently on to the tasks which required them to think through mathematical problems and explain their reasoning.”
