Academically we are trying:
to achieve the highest possible
academic standards;
to enable every child to
achieve his or her full potential;
to help each child to develop
a sense of self-confidence, self-motivation and self-esteem, and to
achieve personal fulfilment.
|
We do this by:
providing a high quality
education which has a firm foundation in the basics of Literacy and
Numeracy, which teaches the whole range of the National Curriculum subjects
to the highest standards and which also allows the development of a
sense of aesthetic awareness;
having a structured teaching programme that includes monitoring and
assessment so that each child's needs are identified and met in an appropriate
way;
providing homework for all children suitable to their age and abilities;
showing children that they all have skills and talents and they are
all important.
|
Within the school we want:
to create an environment
that is happy and secure, caring and well disciplined, stimulating and
inspiring;
to instil a sense of partnership
whereby everyone values and respects everyone else and supports and
helps each other;
the highest standards of
courtesy and consideration for others and a sense of pride in ourselves
and what we stand for.
|
We do this by having:
an emphasis on firm discipline,
an unequivocal Anti-Bullying Policy and a Behaviour Policy which is
seen by all to be fair and just and where sanctions are appropriate
to the offence;
a good system of pastoral
support;
a school uniform worn by
all children.
|
In our relations outside the school we:
are strongly committed to
valuing everyone irrespective of their background and to treating everyone
equally regardless of their gender, race, creed or colour;
intend to use the talents and skills of all members of the school -
staff, governors, parents and pupils - for the advantage of the school
as a whole;
want to build a partnership with parents for the good of the children;
believe that we, as a school, are but a part of the local community
and that we must build links with those other parts for the benefit
of all.
|
We do this by:
regular communication;
providing opportunities for involvement and encouragement to take up
those opportunities;
attempting to reach out to the community in the hope that our attempts
will be reciprocated.
