Billinghay School

OUR HEADTEACHER

My personal info

Mr Allen
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Billinghay Church of England Primary School since starting as Headteacher in January 2008. Prior to this post I was Deputy Headteacher at Ling Moor Primary School, North Hykeham, Lincoln for 5 years and I began my teaching career not far down the road at Metheringham.
On a personal basis I am married with 2 young children and live in Lincoln. When not working I enjoy nothing more than spending time with my family.

THE AIMS OF OUR SCHOOL

Billinghay Church of England Primary aims to foster the development of skills, knowledge, interests and positive attitudes for all our children during their primary years.

   • Recognizing our historic foundation, we aim to preserve and develop the religious character of the school, nurturing a       sympathetic understanding of the Christian faith and respect for other world faiths and cultures.
   • The school aims to serve its community by providing a high quality education within the context of Christian belief and       practice. We encourage an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and promote Christian values       actively both through our programme of collective worship and through the general experience we offer to all our       pupils.
   • We believe that the school is an extension of the home, reflecting the values of a caring family; providing a happy and       safe environment, promoting a healthy lifestyle in which all members of our school feel both welcome and valued.
   • To provide high quality teaching and opportunities which maximise each child’s potential, allowing them to achieve to       the highest level.
   • To ensure that all children have equal access to a broad and balanced curriculum irrespective of gender, race, religion       or disability which fosters creativity both in school and through extra-curricular activities.
   • To value each child for what he/she can do and celebrate the good.
   • To provide challenge and stimulus for all our pupils which develops enquiring minds and a love of learning;
   • To develop an understanding that courtesy, good manners and consideration for others are very important qualities.
   • To keep up to date with the ever changing technological world and to prepare our pupils to be independent, active and       informed citizens who acquire knowledge and practical skills relevant to the world around them.
