11 Before 11 | Sprites Primary Academy

We believe our children should broaden their horizons and have high aspirations for themselves. REAch2 have developed the 11-Before-11 set of promises, to empower our children to take the driving seat in their own lives in a fun and inspiring way.

Why 11 Before 11?

Life is an adventure – and school should be too!

It is essential that our children can read, write and complete maths tasks suitable to their age, but at Sprites Primary Academy, school always has been about what our children part take in off the page.

Think back – what do you remember about your primary school days? Was it phonics lessons or learning how to do long division? Or was it a brilliant school trip where you camped under the stars? Or built rafts? Or built and launched rockets from the playground?

These types of great opportunities – the memorable experiences that cement themselves into your psyche (camel riding, sleeping under the stars, colour run, fireworks, residentials). What’s different for us is that we consciously codify it into a set of promises so that it becomes something that EVERY child is entitled to.

And 11 Before 11 is the way we do this; it’s a set of promises that help our children to be in the driving seat in their own lives. We are ambitious for our children to be FEARLESS in life and have high aspirations for themselves. We want our children to be inspired and challenged so that each one can develop their unique potential to the full.

11 Before 11 takes our children beyond the usual, to open opportunities in life and inspire them to move forward in their own life’s adventure. We are incredibly proud of 11 Before 11and will continue to invest in delivering it, so that every child’s experience of school with us is exceptional and memorable for all the right reasons.

All children starting with us in Early Years will have the opportunity to complete 11 promises by the end of Year 6.
