Ethos & Values

"All Different; All Equal; Together, Improving Upon Our Best."

Aspiration Compassion Responsibility Resilience

Head Teacher's Message

Tilbury Pioneer Academy describes itself as welcoming, caring and ambitious. The Head of School emphasises close partnership with families, aims for outstanding progress, champions every child, and reinforces the GLC motto All Different; All Equal; Together, Improving Upon Our Best.

Curriculum Highlights

GLC Pedagogy Wheel outlines key principles, tools and strategies our teachers apply to ensure teaching and learning is consistently good or better. The Learning Competencies: 1) analyse information and ideas and form reasoned arguments and judgements; 2) ask questions and explore how the world works; 3) generate new ideas and apply them in practice; 4) express thoughts and feelings confidently in a range of media and forms. The Learning model: teaching practices and strategies are underpinned by evidence-informed research and guided by the Pedagogy Wheel; the PDF Pedagogy Wheel is available for download. Digital devices across the trust: KS1 has iPads in classrooms; KS2 has 1:1 devices for in-class use and take-home; devices are protected with antivirus and filtering; Google Workspace and Google Classroom are used for word processing and content creation.

SEND Provision

The GLC believes that all staff are integral to supporting learners with SEND and that whole-school SEND provision is the responsibility of all. High-quality inclusive teaching, adapted and scaffolded strategically for pupils, is the first step in responding to needs. SEND strategies are aligned with the EEF recommendations, including explicit instructions, cognitive/metacognitive strategies, scaffolding, and a 5-a-day approach.
