The school motto ‘Dream Big’ is how they approach each day at the school.

Carwood encourages children to:

• Believe passionately in their own abilities
• Aspire to become whoever they want to be and reach for the stars
• Achieve their true potential in everything they do

Carrwood serves a unique community and its curriculum to reflect the backgrounds, interests and cultures of the families it supports. The school actively encourages parents to be involved in their child's learning and celebrate their success together. At Carrwood, there is a strong belief that working in partnership with families is the best way to ensure every child's success. 

The school is committed to developing independent, motivated and confident individuals who come to Carrwood to learn, aspire and achieve. 

The school also has a Resourced Provision for pupils with Autism (Amber Class) where pupils’ additional needs are met within a warm and vibrant environment. They are linked to their mainstream classroom, which they access for some of their lessons when the time is right for each child.

Carwood has high expectations for all pupils and takes an inclusive approach to ensure every child has the opportunity to meet their full potential.
