Our core values underpin all aspects of our school life:

Care     Imagine     Believe     Strive     Achieve

We create a safe and stimulating environment where we respect the property of others and ourselves; we show respect and understanding and will recognise and respect individuality and children’s differing experiences.

We nurture all forms of creativity, delivering a curriculum that develops each child where originality is valued and we encourage communication, thinking skills and problem solving.

We believe in the limitless potential of our learners and that through expert teaching and support all children can achieve a high standard. Our aim is to enable everyone to realise their full potential, to encourage self-motivation and encourage children to be proud of their own achievements.

Pocklington Junior School
Ages 7–11

We pride ourselves on being a community of ambitious, respectful and committed individuals. At Pocklington Junior School, we meet the needs of each child, promote positive values, and aim to make each day enjoyable and rewarding. School life is for both adults and children underpinned by the concept of respect; for ourselves, for others and for the wider community. We have unashamedly high expectations of behaviour and attitude towards learning; no one can be the best at everything, but we expect everyone to try their best on a daily basis and aim high in everything they do.

Our provision is geared toward developing individual talents and celebrating success in all aspects of school life. However, our school is only one half of the story – we know that parents are the most vital role models. We need your support to work alongside our dedicated staff to help your children reach their potential.

School Partner

Great heart, thought and vision.

At Longcroft we believe that every child should be known and cared for as an individual. We are an inclusive, welcoming community which, with the support of parents, provides a caring, safe and welcoming environment in which to learn and grow. We are a school where your child’s individual gifts and talents can flourish.

Our partnership with parents is at the heart of our success as a school. We believe good communication is essential to ensure you are kept informed. As a parent we want you to feel part of our community and able to effectively support your child and our school. We will, therefore, work hard to establish a positive partnership that will support your child and you as a parent. Through our weekly newsletter we will also share the many successes, opportunities and events that are available throughout the school year. You will also be welcome to join our Friends of Longcroft School Association, run by parents on behalf of our children and the school.

We are, as a school, true to our values, offering a rich and varied range of enrichment opportunities, outside the formal curriculum. From our drama productions, music and sport our young people have a vast array of choices. In addition, our Skills for Life programme provides our children with those skills that are highly sought by employers and universities, for instance, leadership, communication, organisation and teamwork.

Joining our family

We welcome all opportunities to work with colleagues from schools across the region. There are several opportunities available to work with us from becoming a strategic partner, utilising our Institute of Education, joining as a Cluster Partner, and of course becoming your home if you are looking to join a Trust.

Becoming a part of the Wonder family is something truly special and we look forward to hearing from you.

It is important, once schools have made the decision to join our partnership, that they feel fully supported in that venture. We will, therefore, allocate a leader to oversee the process, to support colleagues at your school and to liaise with external agencies. We aim to make the process as smooth as possible and to minimise any impact upon the operation, leadership, or governance of the school, providing key updates and managing the technicalities, so you can remain focused on the children.
