Our Vision:
At Banks Methodist Primary School we strive to follow Jesus’ example and learn together with resilience and faith.
Through living out our Christian Values we seek to equip our pupils with the resilience to be independent, inquisitive individuals with a love for learning across all areas of the curriculum so that they are able to reach their full potential and flourish to be the very best they can be for themselves, our community and for our wonderful world. We would like our children to appreciate and nurture our society and be the positive change of the future.
