Our School Vision and Values Statement
Governors and the Leadership Team decided in 2008 to develop a vision and values statement to guide the work of the school. The need was identified as part of the discussions on community cohesion. Governors used a framework to identify what was important to them about the way that the school operates. At a meeting Governors identified words and phrases which described various aspects of the school including the:
- environment of the school,
- behaviours that experienced at school,
- skills and capabilities used at school,
- beliefs and values which guide the work of the school, and
- identity of the school and its purpose.
At an Inset day, the staff undertook the same exercise and identified more words and phrases. Over the next term, each class identified their own words and phrases.
Once everyone had had a chance to contribute, the School Council reviewed all the words and phrases. From the shortlist our ‘vision and values’ statement was developed.
This statement of vision and values sits alongside the school ethos statement and guides the work of the school. All policies and procedures and activity within school, reflects the sentiments of the vision and values statement.
We all believe that everyone has a part to play in our school and can be themselves.
