At Regent Farm First School, we believe that learning is a lifelong journey filled with curiosity, adventure, and creativity. We want children to have a genuine passion for learning and develop a resilience to overcome challenge. As a whole school community, we aim for our children to be ambassadors for fairness and respect: to change the world with the knowledge, skills and confidence they have learnt here. Above all it is our vision that children are happy, confident individuals who can communicate effectively and thrive in anything they put their mind to – now and in the future.
This vision is reflected in our core values: respect, curiosity, teamwork and determination.
