At Kings Furlong Junior School, our vision is built on four core values: Belong, Believe, Aspire, Achieve. These values shape our culture, guide our decisions, and inspire our learning community every day.

We believe that when children belong, they feel safe, valued, and connected. When they believe in themselves and their potential, they grow in confidence and resilience. When they aspire, they dream big and strive to improve. And when they are supported to achieve, they experience success and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Our class names reflect the learning behaviours we nurture in every child: respect, resilience, reflection, curiosity, creativity, teamwork, risk-taking, responsibility, alongside our core values. These behaviours help children become thoughtful, independent learners who are ready to face the future with confidence.

Kings Furlong Junior School is committed to inclusive education for all children, enabling success regardless of starting points or background. We challenge and support every child in their learning, fostering independence so they are ready for the next steps in their journey.

We know that relationships are the foundation for success. By working in partnership with parents and carers, outside agencies, organisations, and visitors, we create a strong support network that leads to positive outcomes for children.

We are proud of our diverse community, and the rich opportunities it provides for our children to learn, grow, and thrive.

We believe that children learn best when they are inspired, supported, and empowered. Our approach to learning is rooted in our core values — Belong, Believe, Aspire, Achieve — and guided by our learning behaviours: respect, resilience, reflection, curiosity, creativity, teamwork, risk-taking, and responsibility.

Children learn best when:

• They feel happy, safe, and secure, in an environment built on trust, respect, praise, and high self-esteem.
• They are valued as individuals within the ‘family’ ethos of our school, where relationships are the foundation for success.
• They are encouraged to develop independence, selecting learning materials and tools appropriate to the task and exploring their own ideas.
• They are engaged in active, enquiry-based learning through first-hand experiences — investigating, exploring, experimenting, questioning, collaborating, and listening — to deepen understanding and expand higher-order thinking.
• They form positive relationships with peers and adults, building a sense of belonging and mutual respect.
• There is a strong partnership between home and school, with parents and carers actively involved in their child’s learning journey.
• Their social, physical, moral, spiritual, and emotional needs are met, recognising that emotional wellbeing is key to unlocking learning potential.
