At Mapledene, we take great pride in our school and its community, with a dedicated staff committed to every child’s academic and personal growth. We value strong partnerships with parents and the wider community, underpinned by our core values of cooperation, resilience, and respect.

We collaborate with external agencies to support all children and families, ensuring inclusive, respectful learning where every individual is valued. Our broad, creative curriculum is tailored to students’ needs, promoting independence, lifelong learning, and global citizenship.

A ‘Growth Mindset’ is central to our approach, celebrating effort, learning from mistakes, and recognising every achievement. With high expectations, we encourage all pupils to thrive academically, socially, and spiritually, preparing them to contribute confidently to modern Britain and the wider world.

Our aims:

Mapledene aims to create a happy, safe, and inclusive environment where every child feels a sense of belonging and is encouraged to thrive. Mapledene sets high aspirations for all pupils, including those who are disadvantaged or have SEND, through a broad, balanced, and engaging curriculum.

Mapledene promotes individuality, mutual respect, cooperation, and responsibility, both within our school and in the wider world. Mapledene fosters motivation, resilience, and a belief in success for all learners, while nurturing a love of reading and a strong Growth Mindset in both pupils and staff.

Mapledene is committed to developing lifelong learners who are reflective and open to feedback. Children leave Mapledene equipped with the knowledge, cultural capital, and appreciation of creativity and human achievement needed to succeed in life.
