Welcome to Penkridge Middle School, a school where everything we do is underpinned by The PMS Way.

The PMS Way is at the heart of our school community. It reflects the high expectations we have for ourselves and one another and is built around three simple principles:

The Way We Behave: Ready, Respectful, Safe
We expect everyone in our school community to be ready to learn, respectful of themselves, others and their environment, and to make choices that keep themselves and those around them safe.

The Way We Learn: Effort, Encouragement, Excellence
We believe that every pupil can succeed. We value effort, encourage one another and strive for excellence. Our pupils are supported to be resilient, curious and ambitious, developing a genuine love of learning and taking pride in doing their very best.

The Way We Are: Warm, Welcoming and Friendly
We are proud of the relationships and sense of community at Penkridge Middle School. We want our school to be a place where everyone feels they belong and is part of the team. Being warm, welcoming and friendly helps us create an environment where pupils feel happy, healthy and safe.

Alongside The PMS Way, we are committed to academic excellence, personal growth and developing confident, well-rounded young people. Our dedicated teachers and support staff are passionate about education and committed to helping every pupil reach their full potential.

Our broad and balanced curriculum provides a wealth of opportunities for pupils to discover their strengths, interests and talents. Whether through sport, art, music, performance, leadership or our wide range of extracurricular activities, we encourage pupils to get involved, try something new and make the most of every opportunity.

Ultimately, The PMS Way is about helping our pupils become the very best versions of themselves, academically, socially and personally. It shapes the way we behave, the way we learn and the way we are, every day.

We are incredibly proud of our school and warmly welcome prospective parents, carers and pupils who would like to come and see The PMS Way in action. Tours can be arranged at any time by contacting our school office.
