St. David Haigh and Aspull Church of England Primary School

St. David's - a Primary School in Haigh, Wigan

Welcome

Welcome to St. David Haigh and Aspull Church of England Primary School. We are a friendly, family school in beautiful surroundings on the edge of Haigh Woodland Park, with views of the Pennines. We have a unique learning environment in which our children thrive.

Excellent teaching and learning is fundamental at St. David’s. We aim to provide an education of the highest quality for all children, with a curriculum that is based on the needs and interests of the children in school to ensure that each unique child achieves their full potential.

The St. David’s Way is a vein that runs through everything we do. It helps us aim high – helps us stay strong – keeps us determined – binds us together. It shows us the way to live – raises aspirations – makes the impossible possible. And is rooted in our five core values: Friendship, Trust, Hope, Endurance and Wisdom.

Our Vision:

‘Stand firm in the faith; be courageous, be strong,’ 1 Corinthians 16:13

1. In a caring, Christian environment, our children will be motivated to develop a love of learning and a curiosity for the world we live in.
2. Our staff will deepen understanding, develop aspirations and enrich the lives of all children, knowing that with God’s love we can achieve anything.
3. Our school will be a place where children experience awe and wonder, grow spiritually and flourish as courageous advocates, within our global community.

Our Mission Statement:

‘Together in God’s love, aim high, stay strong, be determined.’

Our Mission Statement is the heartbeat of our school and simply means, ‘God is with you…Try your best.’

Our Curriculum:

Our curriculum is designed with our children and school context in mind, and aims to develop not only the academic knowledge and skills our pupils need to succeed, but also promotes the development of the whole child.

At St. David’s, we aim to provide an ambitious curriculum, to meet the needs of all children, including disadvantaged pupils and pupils with SEND, in our school. Our intent is to provide a curriculum that is well sequenced, coherent and progressive, enabling children to learn more, know more and remember more. Our ambition is for our pupils to build on their prior learning and develop a deep body of knowledge, which will equip our pupils for future learning.

Our intention is to place early reading and language development at the heart of our curriculum, where precise, subject specific vocabulary is identified. Through Read Write Inc., Literacy and Language and our wider curriculum, we aspire to give our children a rich and engaging curriculum, which fosters a love for learning, creativity and independence. We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum, which is enhanced by extra-curricular activities, enrichment opportunities and experiences, to build cultural capital that our children need to succeed in life.

Before and After School childcare is provided by The Children's Club: Link.
