Welcome
Our
school sits in the beautiful countryside of North Yorkshire, providing an environment
that gives our children first hand experience of the outdoor classroom where they
can engage with the changing seasons and be part of our rural community.
A sense of family is very important to us and we want our children, parents, teachers,
helpers and members of the wider community to work together.
We know, of course, that our children are the future, that we are preparing them
for a life that we cannot predict; for jobs that haven’t been invented yet. We need
to enable our children to learn skills that will allow them access to learning wherever
and whenever it may be.
We have built our reputation on providing learning that is of high quality, not
quantity, it is not about the coverage of subjects but about the impact of subjects
on learning.
Learning at Fountains is underpinned by a strong Christian ethos, we want our children
to explore values, develop empathy, to be resilient and resourceful and to make
connections with the wider, global community.
Self-evaluation is central to our teaching and learning and we aim to offer a modern,
relevant and distinctive world class curriculum to our children.
It is a big task. We have a dedicated team of staff who are passionate about developing
every child’s potential. They are committed to providing an excellent curriculum
and to promoting high standards of achievement and attainment.
Come and see us, you will be most welcome. Help us to give our children
an appetite for learning.
