Vision & Values |

Our Values

These are the principles that underpin our ethos and decision-making in school.

We are forward thinking – fear is not a barrier to change
We think ‘boldly and bravely’ – we are pioneering and able to make courageous decisions
We set high expectations – holding ourselves and others to account through professional and constructive dialogue
We are adaptive and reflective – using evidence-based research to inform our practice
We enable opportunity – by supporting continued professional development within a culture of equality, diversion and inclusivity
We are welcoming – by providing a kind and safe environment for all
We budget effectively – we allocate our funds strategically and prudently

This is what we want the school to look like in three years’ time.

Financially stable with the allocated Pupil Admissions Number being met.
Outward facing, collaborating with local primary and secondary schools to provide a seamless pupil journey that recognises the correspondence between early years and KS4 intellectual and emotional competency.
A high-level of educational aspiration and pride that is shared by pupils, staff and parents.
Intrinsically motivated, curious pupils who all make expected progress or better in Reading, Writing and Maths.
Fully embedded adaptive teaching practice to ensure that children with SEND fully access their education alongside peers and within the classroom.
Highly skilled support staff who effectively contribute to the success of all pupils in their personal development and subsequent academic learning.
National recognition for the strategies in place to encourage pupil and staff mental wellbeing.
An outdoor environment that promotes educational freedom, self-discovery, personal risk management and team-working.
An information technology capacity that is able to harness the benefits of digital enablement and artificial intelligence.

This is what we will prioritise in the next 3 years:

Sustainability:

Inaugurate an improved organisational structure that delivers outstanding performance
Deliver a plan that is financially resilient in achieving the school’s evolving priorities
Maintain a physical and digital environment that is tailored to the school’s key objectives

Pupil Journey:

Create a stronger alliance with local schools, in particular feeder schools, so that greater intelligence is shared to promote pupils’ long-term outcomes
Strengthen and advance communication with parents, carers and the local community to maximise their engagement

Curriculum:

Strengthen the impact of support staff by restructuring roles and responsibilities so that pupils with a high level of SEMH need are able to access the curriculum effectively
Utilise high-quality, evidenced-based research to ensure that the curriculum is taught in the best way possible
