On behalf of children, staff and Governors of the High Peak Federation, welcome to our website.
Our Federation is made up of Newtown and Thornsett Primary Schools, situated in New Mills, High Peak, Derbyshire.
Ethos, Vision and Values
Our Vision informs what we constantly strive for. At its heart is an Ethos focused on your child, every child.
-
To provide a caring, ‘can-do’ Federation, where every child feels safe and valued.
-
To foster a stimulating and engaging environment, where every child feels motivated to learn.
-
To deliver a varied and creative curriculum, where every child is engaged.
-
To be a foundation for future learning, where every child knows how to learn and is inspired to keep learning.
Our Values guide our behaviour. They inform the decisions we make, how learning is approached, and the skills needed in modern Britain. They are embedded in all we do:
-
Resilience: We have inner strength to keep trying.
-
Empathy: We consider others.
-
Self-Awareness: We are proud of who we are.
-
Positivity: We are confident.
-
Excellence: We work hard to do our best.
-
Creativity and Communication: We develop our own ideas and express them to others.
-
Teamwork: We work together.
You are welcome to visit us anytime - please get in touch if you want to learn more.
You can also access key Federation information via our Mobile App. Once installed search for 'High Peak Federation'.
