Our School Vision, Values and Aims

Our School Vision - Be the Best you Can Be - Explore, Dream, Discover, Shine!

At Catterline School, our vision is to work together to be an inclusive and nurturing learning community where we aspire for everyone to have high expectations and be the best they can be.

Together, we encourage each other to explore, dream, discover, shine!

We firmly believe that:

“All children have the right to an education that helps develop their personality, talents and abilities to the full.”

(United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 29)

What do we Aim to Achieve for our Pupils?

We aim:

• to ‘Get it Right for Every Child’ by working in partnership with children, parents/carers, other agencies and our local, national and global community to promote learning in an active, relevant and engaging way.

• to sustain a welcoming, positive ethos which promotes high-quality learning, health, wellbeing and respect for all, where individuals feel secure, nurtured & included and where social & cultural diversity is celebrated.

• to promote our shared vision, values and aims, establishing a culture of self-evaluation where members of our school community, at all levels, are empowered to reflect, ensuring continuous improvement as we strive for excellence.

• to engage pupils and staff in high-quality learning that will enable our pupils to develop confidence, perseverance, resilience, and a growth mind-set, nurturing the emotional, physical and mental health and wellbeing of all.

• to encourage respect for the environment, an understanding of what we can do to protect it and an awareness of sustainability.

• to inspire our learners to be aspirational, to try new things, to challenge themselves, to be innovative and to develop a committed approach to learning where exploration, independence, curiosity, critical thinking and creative thinking is encouraged.

• to have expectations of all so that our learners develop as independent and respectful young people, developing the skills, knowledge and attributes needed to embrace the world in which we live, thereby becoming responsible citizens, effective contributors, successful learners and confident individuals.
