Vision & Values

Achieving Excellence Together

We want our learners to be aspirational, to set themselves challenging goals and to work hard, growing in confidence and acquiring the skills needed to succeed in these aims. 

Working together in partnership, we can support our learners in achieving their goals.  We aim to instill in our learners the belief that learning is limitless, that the world is full of opportunities waiting to be grasped and that through effort and perseverance everyone can achieve.

Our Core Values

Our vision is underpinned by our core values of perseverance, independence, respect, achievement and responsibility which are central to all that we do.  These were devised in consultation with the whole school community and reflect our collaborative approach to all that we do.  Through these values we seek to develop rounded learners who are able to make a positive contribution to society.

 

By perseverance we mean that:

• everyone has a growth mindset (believing that effort and attitude can always help us improve)
• we look for ways to improve
• we make mistakes and learn from them and reflect on our learning journey
• we keep going when at first things seem difficult
• we think creatively and try new approaches to solve problems

 

By independence we mean that:

• we understand how to be independent
• we are proactive learners, we ask questions and are curious
• we actively participate in school life and seek out new opportunities
• we are confident learners
• we know how to keep ourselves healthy and safe

 

By respect we mean that:

• we treat everyone how we would like to be treated
• we speak kindly and politely to everyone
• we are considerate and thoughtful towards others
• we follow our school rules and co-operate with others
• We respect everyone regardless of their individual beliefs, background or religion

 

By achievement we mean that:

• we try to make the best use of the time and resources in school
• we challenge ourselves
• we set ourselves personal goals for improvement
• we try to produce work of the highest standard
• we recognise our strengths and areas we need to improve

 

By responsibility we mean that:

• we are responsible for our learning
• we are responsible for caring for others and our environment
• we contribute to developing our community
• we are responsible for our choices and actions

 

Year of Respect

Our Core Values are something we talk about a lot in school. This year we have decided to have a Year of Respect to focus on this value in particular. Both in class and as a whole school, children will be learning more about how to show respect to others, both adults and children, both in and out of school. We want to ensure that respectful behaviour is evident every day in every way, in all interactions between staff, pupils and parents, in order to make school a happier place for all. We will be in touch with our school community throughout the year to update you on what we are doing.
