Kenyngton Manor Primary School is a two-form entry Primary School, with Preschool and Nursery situated in Sunbury-on-Thames. We are a community school supporting children from the ages of 2 to 11 years. We are proud of our children, who they are and what they go on to achieve.
Kenyngton Manor Primary School is part of The Howard Partnership Trust. We enjoy belonging to this family of primary, secondary and special schools in Surrey. We are pleased to be able to contribute to, collaborate with and benefit from this excellent partnership, as together we seek to ‘bring out the best’ in all our young people.
The Aims of Kenyngton Manor Primary School
We are ‘bringing out the best’ in all of our pupils by giving them access to a broad and rich curriculum, enabling our children to ‘stretch and reach’:
Up – to achieve academically
In – to have a strong sense of who they are and be able to express it
Out – to relate well with, and share responsibility for, others
Forwards – to be equipped with a ‘spirit of adventure.’
Our School Values - The Wholehearted Habits
Wholehearted Responsibility
Definition:
to make good choices in your behaviour, learning and care for others.
Wholehearted Responsibility is doing an excellent job when you have been given it, and when you spot one that you haven’t been asked to do.
Examples:
Being ready, respectful, safe
Working hard and trying to improve
Completing tasks given and ones not given
Helping others when they need it
Wholehearted Courage
Definition:
to be strong in yourself, even when you are nervous, afraid or sad.
Wholehearted Courage is when you show courage for others. It is showing courage when others need support or face unkindness, bullying or discrimination.
Examples:
Doing the right thing (e.g., telling the truth, speaking out against bullying), even when it is hard
Doing the thing that you find nerve-wracking or makes you feel afraid or sad
Asking for help
Wholehearted Aspiration
Definition:
to be full of hope for something better and then work hard to make it happen.
Wholehearted Aspiration is about hoping for something that seems impossible, or might require more work from you.
Examples:
Hoping for something better for you, for others, or for the world
Making plans to bring about something better. This might be small (like solving a problem) or bigger – recognising the small part we play
Finding new ways when our first attempt/plans do not work
Showing resilience, bouncing back and not giving up
Wholehearted Kindness
Definition:
to treat others in the way you would want to be treated.
Kindness is being compassionate, helpful and gentle.
Wholehearted Kindness is shown to all others regardless of how they have treated you. It will often require courage.
Examples:
Helping and caring for others, even if they might not help us
Going out of your own way to help others
Using kind words to encourage (to give heart/give courage)
Showing forgiveness
Wholehearted Respect
Definition:
to value yourself, others and our environment in your words and actions.
Wholehearted Respect often requires you to put others before yourself. It is self-less and may be costly.
Examples:
Being polite in our words: saying ‘please’, ‘thank you’ and ‘sorry’ when we mean it
Being polite in our actions: letting others go first, holding doors open
Helping and being kind regardless of our differences
Using respectful words
Wholehearted Tolerance
Definition:
to respect and enjoy how people are different in many ways.
To be open to learning from others and disagree well.
Wholehearted Tolerance requires you to show respect even when you do not understand or you disagree strongly.
Examples:
Learning about other people
Learning new languages, about culture / religion / abilities / ethnicities / families
Listening to others’ beliefs, views and opinions with respect
Disagreeing kindly
Wholehearted Confidence
Definition:
to wholeheartedly believe in yourself.
Wholehearted Confidence requires you to fully believe in yourself when faced with tasks that are new, difficult or you do not think are possible.
Examples:
Being willing to ‘give things a go,’ try new things or things you find hard
Embracing a challenge
Speaking out when spotting something is not fair
Speaking or performing in public – sharing ideas, opinions, methods
