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 be a fully inclusive learning community where all learners are inspired to have high expectations and a desire to be the best they can be, becoming responsible, independent and respectful young people, and 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.
