Values and Vision

 

At Lugwardine Primary Academy, everyone is  valued for the contribution they make to the life of our school. We pride ourselves on being a school with a warm heart and a big smile.

Our mission statement, ‘Learning and growing together!’ reflects what our learning community is all about.

Our values are at the heart of our purpose at LPA. They guide our thinking, shape our behaviour, and help create an environment where every child can thrive. These values play a vital role in raising achievement and nurturing emotionally intelligent, articulate learners. 

At LPA, we have four key values that we want every child to master. We want our children to be:

  • Respectful

  • Resilient

  • Kind

  • Inquisitive

Why Families Choose Lugwardine

At LPA, our youngest learners start in our spacious reception class, complete with an enclosed outdoor area and access to the extensive school grounds. Our pupils learn through a play-based curriculum, following the Early Years Foundation Stage. At Lugwardine, your child’s time in Reception is about more than just the classroom; it’s about building the confidence and social skills they need for life. We work closely with parents to ensure that every child feels safe, valued, and excited to come to school every day. Year R | Lugwardine Primary Academy

As children progress through our caring, single‑form‑entry school, they benefit from a community where everyone is known personally, while still enjoying strong facilities and a skilled, dedicated staff. As an active school, we ensure children are continually involved in enriching adventures and challenges, both in our school environment and throughout the wider county. Please see our Facebook page to find out about what we have been up to recently. 

We have an active PTFA who put on fun events throughout the year and provide the school with generous funds for things such as new books and musical instruments. 

Lugwardine was inspected by Ofsted in March 2025 and we are delighted that they graded us as 'good' in every area. You can read the wonderful report here.  

 

Facilities

We benefit from large school grounds including a large playground and playing field; lots of adventure play equipment; a Forest School site, including a pond; an outdoor classroom and a greenhouse. Our EYFS and Preschool children have their own playgrounds, field, and secret garden, too, so there is always somewhere to explore. We pride ourselves on the number of extra-curricular clubs we provide, giving children the opportunity for more experiences and to develop their interests.

We have onsite breakfast and after school club every day to support families with childcare. 

                                                

We are proud to be part of the Three Counties Academy Trust and benefit from working closely with the other primary schools in the trust.
