At Pleasant Street our mission statement underpins both our curriculum and our wider school ethos.  This includes the importance we place on mutual respect, appreciation and celebration of diversity in all its forms, whilst ensuring pupils learn both the British as well as human values which we as a school are committed to.

‘Pleasant Street Primary School pledges itself to be a place where uniqueness is celebrated and all individuals will find safety and respect for their families and their way of life’. We are a family of many different cultures and beliefs which makes our school as unique, as the individuals that make it so special. Our differences are our strength and allows us all to grow together with an interest and love of our shared and different traditions.

A ‘high tide raises all ships’ philosophy is fostered within Pleasant Street. We have high expectations of all pupils and adults and actively challenge any perceived barriers to ‘dreaming big’. Pupil are encouraged to be relentless and resilient in pursuit of their ambitions; with an acknowledgement that we often have to experience failure before achieving success.

At Pleasant Street our community is central to our learning. Our diverse cultures come together to develop our understanding of our city, country and the world. Happiness and harmony are focal to our shared learning. We recognise the strengths of others and draw on this to support and inspire our own learning. Equally, we are always eager to motivate and guide others.
