Vision, Ethos and Values
Our Vision
- To develop happy, confident and resilient children who demonstrate and experience our core values of ‘engagement’, ‘independence’, ‘respect’ and ‘being active’.
- For our children to move on to the next stage of their learning with a positive attitude, resilience and a love for learning that enables them to achieve all they want to in life.
- For our children to thrive academically in a nurturing environment.
Our vision statement is ‘Together we learn and grow’, which encapsulates our view that success as a school is achieved only through engagement of all stakeholders; children, staff, parents and governors.
Our Values
Our core values are 'being respectful', 'being engaged', 'being independent' and 'being active.'
Our school curriculum has our values at the centre of it. Our values will be woven throughout teaching, planning and behaviour.
Ethos
We learn as much from our children and their individual strengths and interests as they do from us as a staff team. We value their input, and they know they are valued. Wellbeing has to be our priority and is embedded in all of our work - happy children can learn.
We want our children to be the best versions of themselves they can be, to believe they can be whoever they want to be and for them to value learning for its own sake.
We believe that our children should experience all kinds of learning, with lots of relevant, practical experiences integral to our school curriculum.
We believe that children should be allowed and enabled to work in their own way and not be forced to experience a model of learning that is not suited to them.
We believe that children should be involved in their learning, included in ideas and that our teaching should be adapted to the interests and responses of the children.
