We seek
to promote:
Respect in
the creation of a community that respects the views and opinions of others
as well as our own. This is founded in developing empathy in
R Time and our Social and Emotional Literacy planning. We are recognised as an
enhanced Healthy School for emotional wellbeing, and we are an accredited Route
to resilience school.
We also
seek to promote growth in self-esteem in enabling children to develop independence in
becoming problem solvers and negotiators. We aim to promote this in the
application of skills and knowledge across the curriculum and in thematic
learning.
Rooted
in these values we seek to develop learner’s resilience and perseverance through
challenging children and developing growth mindsets, recognising that we learn
by reflection and specifically celebrating achievement and considering next
steps in our commitment to assessment for learning strategies. This
fosters a community of risk- takers who can develop the confidence
to approach learning with curiosity and creativity.
‘Our
Aims’
- To create a
stimulating and fun learning environment.
- To work in
partnership with children, parents and the wider community.
- To provide a
broad and balanced curriculum that challenges children to reach their full
potential.
- To provide a
happy, friendly, discrimination and bully-free environment for our
children and encourage them to respect others and take responsibility for
their actions.
- To provide
equal opportunities for children to contribute to the school community and
to engage positively with the outside world.
- To educate and
encourage children to make healthy lifestyle choices.
- To prepare and
motivate our children to be life-long learners and become active members
of their community.
We are
committed to providing a safe and inspirational environment for children to
enjoy learning and enable them to achieve their best, irrespective of ability
or circumstances. We encourage them to be curious about the world we live in
within a creative and nurturing environment whilst offering real life contexts
in which to apply their learning.
All
individuals, irrespective of age or role, in our community have personal
learning journeys and we aim to develop a community of independent and
collaborative reflective learners. We are committed to promoting
children’s self- esteem and confidence to ensure they believe in themselves and
fulfil their ambitions.
But
most of all…we enjoy our learning!
