The Mulberry Primary School - Culturally & Linguistically Diverse
The Mulberry Primary School is one of Haringey's largest primary schools and is proud of its cultural and linguistic diversity. Children and staff from around the globe bring a wealth of experiences including 45 different languages. There are approximately 750 children in The Mulberry Primary School and we have a large Nursery that is able to offer part time places. Year groups from reception to year 6 are taught in three, same age, mixed ability classes. We also have a specialist provision for 18 pupils with Autism.

Children’s Development
We aim for all pupils to feel safe and secure in school so that they can learn to the best of their ability. We seek to prepare all pupils with the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to play a positive role in society – as citizens for the 21st century. We aim for pupils to become responsible for their own actions, to be able to respond positively to challenges and to behave in a considered/thoughtful way to each other and adults in their communities.

We aim for pupils to develop a greater awareness of the links between rights and responsibility at a local and global level. We achieve this aim through application of our pastoral care system and policy, Junior Citizenship Programme, Class Councils and School Council.We aim for pupils to develop knowledge and understanding of contemporary world issues, political, social and economic awareness through formal and informal learning opportunities: in class discussion, assembly, school council, citizenship programmes, circle time, peer mediation and drugs education. We teach Personal Social and Health Education and Citizenship in all classes.

We have consistently high expectations for all members of our community. Our “Always” Code of Conduct focuses on being thoughtful and considerate towards others, respecting everyone's individuality, being helpful, co-operative and polite at all times, making our school a happy and caring place to be in, work in and visit.

We aim to teach the curriculum according to the needs of the children as learners. We work to plan and deliver the curriculum as a school team and as year group teams as there are three classes in each year group.

We recognise parents/carers as a child’s first and longest lasting teacher and we are keen to have your help and input in wherever you might be able to help! We welcome parents, carers and the wider school community to support us in offering a broad curriculum to all pupils. Anyone entering The Mulberry Primary School should report to the school office.
