Our curriculum is built around our school vision: **Growing Together, Soaring High**, and is designed to help children grow academically, socially, and emotionally. At our school, we believe every child flourishes when we support each other. We nurture kindness, curiosity, and respect so that each child can achieve their best. Together, we build a strong community where everyone learns, grows and soars. We follow three simple rules that help create a calm and caring environment | **Ready** Prepared to learn and try new things | ![](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/images/pages/68eeb1f7a5c078d6e706a02b0a7e0d65.png) | |---|---| | **Respectful** Kind to others and thoughtful in our actions. | ![](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/images/pages/f347f2abf6acbb7932cecdf9aa2b7df0.png) | | **Safe** Making good choices to keep ourselves and others safe. | ![](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/images/pages/28313bdfb8b9bb9f78d20e59827d8a47.png) | | Our school values are at the heart of everything we do. We encourage children to: - Find **happiness** in learning and friendships. - Show **perseverance** when things get tough. - Offer and seek **support** from others. - Build **resilience** to bounce back from challenges. - Be **honest** and trustworthy. - Work together in **collaboration** to achieve shared goals During their time at Grange, pupils have the opportunity to be nominated by staff to receive a badge that represents one of our six core values. These badges celebrate and recognise children who consistently demonstrate these values in their learning and behaviour. --- ## British Values At Grange Junior School, we actively promote British values through our school vision, ethos, agreed rules, curriculum, and teaching. As such, we promote tolerance of, and respect for, people of all faiths (or those with no faith), cultures, and lifestyles. We prepare children and young people positively for life in modern Britain by supporting them through our words, actions, and influence, not just within school, but also within the wider community. --- ## Promoting Our Values The government defines British values as: - Democracy. - Rule of law. - Individual liberty. - Mutual respect. - Tolerance of those of different faiths. At Grange Junior School, we value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of all pupils and families and undertake a variety of events and lessons to celebrate these. We have found this approach to be enriching for all parties as it teaches tolerance and respect for the differences in our community and the wider world. Underpinning all of this is a range of curriculum topics that have strong links to the British Empire. We actively challenge children, staff, and parents expressing opinions contrary to fundamental British values, including ‘extremist’ views. As part of [The White Horse Federation](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/), we passionately believe that by working together, the children are able to have a higher quality of education, and that as colleagues, we will also benefit from and reap the rewards of a values-based organisation where no one is left behind. ### About Us - [Our Vision & Values](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/our-vision-values) - [Our Staff](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/our-staff) - [The White Horse Federation](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/the-white-horse-federation) - [Admissions](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/admissions) - [Careers](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/careers) - [Ofsted Report](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/ofsted-report) - [Safeguarding](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/safeguarding) - School Information - [Policies & Procedures](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/school-information/policies-procedures) - [Online Safety](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/school-information/online-safety) - [Attendance and Absence](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/school-information/attendance-and-absence) - [Local Governance Committee](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/school-information/local-governance-committee) - [Funding](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/school-information/funding) - [School Closures](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/our-schools/school-closures) - [SEND Information](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/school-information/send) ![Grange Junior School](https://files.schudio.com/grange-junior-school/images/logo/Image_copy.png) **Grange Junior School** Grange Drive Stratton St Margaret Swindon SN3 4JY Tel: 01793 822405 ### Useful Links - [Privacy Policy](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/privacy-policy) - [Cookies](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/cookies) - [GDPR](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/about-our-trust/gdpr) - [Modern Slavery Statement](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/modern-slavery-statement) - [Equality Act](https://files.schudio.com/the-white-horse-federation/files/documents/policies/08_SP_V1_Equality,_Diversity_and_Inclusion_Policy_2026.pdf) ### Useful Links - [Behaviour Policy](https://files.schudio.com/the-white-horse-federation/files/documents/04_SP_V9_Behaviour_Policy_2026(1).pdf) - [Careers](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/careers) - [Curriculum ](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/learning-education/curriculum/overview) - [Facilities for Hire](https://schoolhire.co.uk/swindon/grangejunior) - [Arbor payments](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/for-parents/school-life/arbor-payments) - [Contact Us](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/contact) Proud to be a part of [**The White Horse Federation**](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/) [![](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/images/TWHF.png)](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/) Registered in England: Company Number: **08075785** Registered Office: Plymouth St, Swindon SN1 2LB © Copyright 2023–2026 Grange Junior School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://grange-jun.swindon.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/grange-junior-school/images/splash/Grange_Junior_Open_Day_Splash.jpg)
