At Brackenagh West Primary School we aim to provide a happy, friendly, caring environment, where children feel secure and valued. Children are encouraged to develop self-discipline and mutual respect for each other and for all adults in an atmosphere that promotes learning and excellence, enabling children to fulfil their true potential.

Parents and visitors are welcomed into the school. Their involvement and contribution are sought across the school in a partnership that enhances the children's education, welfare and social awareness.

All members of staff, teaching and non-teaching alike, are valued and are actively encouraged to extend and develop their teaching skills and interests.

To help us achieve the above, we aim:
· to establish a happy family atmosphere within the school community, where our children can progress and develop to their full potential
· to provide a broad and balanced curriculum
· to help develop in our pupils, lively, enquiring minds and an ability to apply themselves to mental tasks and physical skills
· to encourage our children to acquire knowledge and skills in preparation for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life
· to help our pupils understand the world in which we live and to appreciate human achievements and aspirations
· to develop knowledge, understanding and respect for the Christian religion, and to develop tolerance of other religions and races

Our Motto: ‘Building foundations for life’
