Ethos

Welcome to Prendergast Primary School!

 

A Family School at the Heart of the Community

At Prendergast Primary School, we are dedicated to fostering a truly nurturing enviroment where every child feels valued, supported and inspired to learn.We pride ourselves on being a vibrant family school at the heart of the community, committed to building bright futures for all our pupils. We are a school that CARES; where Community, Ambition, Resilience, Effort, and Success are valued. The CARES values underpin all aspects of school life; children and adults regularly discuss how our values can shape and impact ourselves and others, as well as celebrating those who demonstrate one or more of the values positively. Pupils at our school learn how and why we aim to 'live the CARES values', and become keen at identifying examples of CARES in action.
