• VISION OF OUR SCHOOL

As part of our school family, every child belongs, contributes, and is valued. Together, we create resilient, independent learners in a safe, nurturing environment where differences are celebrated and accomplishments are recognised and rewarded.

Leadership and Staffing

The leadership team and governors have a strong vision and purpose to lead high quality teaching and learning. We aim to develop subject leadership roles to ensure rigorous monitoring and evaluation in their subject. We strive to ensure that all teaching is consistently good or better. Through performance management, we identify plans for future staff development.

Governance

The governors care about our school staff and children. They ask difficult questions, accept responsibility for key decisions and challenge the school in order to raise standards.

Curriculum

We aim to develop and embed a creative curriculum that gives children time to reflect upon, contribute and have ownership of the content. The curriculum over the next five years will be richer, more engaging and exciting with a strong emphasis on Mathematics and English skills development. We will focus on improving and developing continuous provision in our early years setting.

Achievement

We will sustain our focus on standards and personalised learning. We will ensure that every child reaches their educational potential. English and Mathematics will remain a high priority to ensure standards remain high. Rigorous monitoring and evaluation will play a major role in promoting expected or better progress for all children.

Computing

We provide high quality on-line resources to improve teaching and learning for parents and pupils. New 

resources are updated on a regular basis. E-Safety is a high priority. All staff will continue to attend e-safety training and new staff are inducted, to raise awareness and understanding of current issues which may be harmful for our children. All children will participate in annual programmes of e-safety training. We will continue to request that parents engage in responsible on-line monitoring.

Community

We strive to maintain and improve established links with parents and the community.

Health and Safety

The Health and Safety of staff and children will continue to be of a high quality. We have systems in place which ensures regular reviews and maintenance of the indoor and outdoor environments.

This vision has been shared by staff, children, governors and parents to ensure a successful, bright and happy future.
