Furze Infants Ethos 

Our ethos is that it is not about where you come from but your passion and eagerness to learn as well as  your dedication and commitment to achieve that make the difference between success and failure, and we are determined to ensure that our children are given every chance to realise their full potential. In schools across the country, there has been a growing momentum to overturn generations of stereotyping as research has shown that children who have been on or are currently on FSM do not attain as highly as other children in school.  As such, we have a relentless focus on improvement and measure our success by the achievement of all our pupils and our expectation is that no pupil is left behind.
