At Jackton Primary, we provide a welcoming, happy, safe, supportive and nurturing learning environment, where every learner is given the necessary support to thrive. We are committed to creating inclusive learning spaces which inspire a lifelong love of learning. We believe that all children are unique, and each child has differing abilities and educational needs. We set high standards and expectations in everything we do and constantly strive to raise standards. Through effective collaboration with other educators, families, specialists, external agencies and community partners, we aim to create tailored support systems that empower each learner to overcome challenges, celebrate successes, and thrive socially, emotionally and academically.

Our strong school ethos is underpinned by our core SPARKLE values: Support, Perseverance, Ambition, Respect, Kindness, Leadership and Equality. We celebrate and recognise pupils who consistently demonstrate our values through our Jackton Gem Award.

We are committed to amplifying children's voices through creative and playful research methods.
