Our vision is to develop and nurture the academic and emotional intelligence of all children by providing them with the knowledge, skills and understanding to reach their full potential and become lifelong learners.

Ultimately our curriculum is intended to:

• Develop our head: What we learn (our national primary curriculum)
• Develop our moral compass: What we believe is right and wrong (British Values, PHSE and RE)
• Develop our character: How we fit in the world (resilience, independence and teamwork)

At Normanton we endeavor to impart knowledge and skills that allow our pupils to get ahead in education and life.  We encourage our children to question and be inquisitive, to be kind and understand the diversity of the society we live in. In essence we want young men and women who can find their place in the world and enter it with confidence and kindness.

The school prides itself on our values - we encourage each child in our care to:
