Mission statement: Ethos and Values

At Southmead Primary we are all aboard in the journey to provide the best learning experiences for all.  We aim to:

1. Provide pupils with inspirational, high quality education where all achieve, in order to prepare them for the global workplace of the 21st century, teaching both tolerance and understanding and promote a community spirit in which all make a contribution.

2. Learn about sustainability and provide pupils with the knowledge and skills to help them in their future life.

3. Ensure Southmead Primary is a community school where we all work together, enjoy learning and are positive of the contribution we make.

Our whole school community - pupils, parents, staff and governors - have decided on a set of School Values.  The initials of these spell RESPECT:

Braunton

Southmead Primary School is incredibly fortunate to be situated on the eastern side of Braunton, within the North Devon biosphere, which is globally recognised as an ‘area of outstanding beauty’.  We hope your children will enjoy their time here.
