Norfolk Navigators

At Norfolk Community Primary School, we want every child to navigate their learning journey with confidence, resilience and ambition. Our Norfolk Navigators are the learning attitudes that underpin our whole‑school culture. They articulate the behaviours, mindsets and dispositions our pupils need in order to thrive academically, socially and emotionally in a challenging, ever‑changing world.

The Navigators set out what we expect from all pupils, every day, from Nursery through to Year 6. They also provide a shared language for teachers, pupils and families, ensuring consistency and high expectations across the school. These dispositions are directly linked to our Big Ideas, our Rights Respecting Schools work, and our carefully sequenced curriculum.

Our Learning Attitudes

• We Are Knowledgeable – understanding the world, remembering key concepts and learning from mistakes.
• We Are Excited – showing enthusiasm, wonder and joy in learning.
• We Are Curious – asking big questions, exploring global issues and valuing diversity.
• We Are Resilient – maintaining a growth mindset, challenging stereotypes and standing up for what is right.
• We Are Inspired – learning from important figures who overcame barriers.
• We Are Ambitious – striving to be the best we can be and developing future aspirations.
• We Are Articulate – communicating clearly and using rich, precise vocabulary.
• We Are Reflective – recognising strengths, identifying next steps and setting goals.

These attitudes shape the lived experience of learning at NCPS and are woven through teaching, assemblies, behaviour routines and peer interactions
