At Atam Academy our pupils are at the heart of everything we do. We hold high expectations for all of them and work in partnership with families to make sure every child gets the best start in life. We are an inclusive school open to all children regardless of background, or ability. Our children will see enormous changes in their lifetime and we aim to equip them to make the most of all opportunities that come their way. Our curriculum is underpinned by the national curriculum with a focus on active learning, technology and international education, including the teaching of Punjabi as a modern foreign language and French from Reception. We aim to turn out confident, resilient pupils who have confidence in their abilities and can think for themselves. We provide opportunities to learn through play, real experiences and investigative activities and to develop leadership. The school is an inclusive Sikh school, which welcomes children from all faiths and none. The Sikh faith believes that all people are equal, and does not try to make converts. We are committed to developing our pupils’ understanding of their own faith (if they have one) and of other faiths. The broad Sikh values of love, compassion, contentment, humility and truth underpin the ethos of the school (piaar, daya, santokh, nimrita, sach). Aspiration Togetherness Advancement Merit
