Our Vision, Aims and Values
OUR VISION
Our vision statement helps us to see the meaning and purpose of our school. It gives us clear reasons that what we do benefits a larger goal.
Every day we motivate ourselves to make a positive difference to someone in our community or beyond.
People may forget what you said or did but they will never forget how you made them feel. Sharing love and joy allows us to feel positive, building our resilience.
We pay attention to success and celebrate it because it nourishes us and supports our wellbeing.
OUR AIMS
Our aims inform our curriculum design and decision making for future improvement priorities.
- Inspiring: To provide enriched experiences that enthuse pupils to develop knowledge, be creative and have skills to develop the cultural capital to flourish in society and make healthy life choices.
- Interleaved: To develop pupils’ character so that they may respectfully express their thoughts and ideas, challenging social and racial injustice through an interleaved approach of a quality, representational curriculum.
- Inclusive: To commit to placing wellbeing and mental health at the heart of our community, promoting equality of opportunity ensuring all pupils, and in particular those with additional needs, safely access the curriculum.
- Independence: To structure metacognitive thinking so that pupils behave with integrity, collaborate well and develop the growth mind-set to face challenges positively.
OUR VALUES: Enthusiasm, Respect, Inclusion, Challenge
We reflect British values in all that we do, we nurture our children on their journey through life so they can grow into safe, caring, democratic, responsible and tolerant adults who make a positive difference to British society and to the world. Our ERIC values are the behaviours that we expect of everyone in all aspects of our day-to-day life. They provide us with a common language that we all understand and live by.
The Department for Education states that, schools should promote the fundamental British values of:
- Democracy
- The rule of law
- Individual liberty
- Mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
