Welcome to Balshaw Lane Primary School
Our Vision
To enable each child to fulfil their potential academically, creatively, emotionally, physically and spiritually in a safe, happy and supportive environment. We expect all children to show Balshaw Brilliance. This behaviour is underpinned by our school values.
British Values
British Values, as defined by the government, are democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. At Balshaw Lane, we believe strongly that our pupils’ understanding of these values will enable them to participate fully in modern, multi-cultural Britain. We want our children to live confidently and work alongside other people from different backgrounds, faiths and/or cultures.
Our Motto
In recent years, the children have been inspired by Greta Thunberg's climate change protests. The upper KS2 classes participated in climate change protests at Chorley Town Hall, engaging with local councillors, journalists and local MP Lindsay Hoyle. We amended our school motto to 'Be the Change' to foster the feeling of individual passion and responsibility for our world.
