Goals and Vision for the School
Goals and Vision for the School
This school aims to be a learning community in which we all:? Achieve our full potential
? Are motivated to work independently and collaboratively
? Take initiative and responsibility
? Show respect and consideration for others and their environment
The vision was formed by representatives of the school community. They decided that the existing motto of Learn Care Enjoy should be kept as these were the key goals of what we are trying to achieve at St Michael's Church of England Primary School providing the best for the whole school community.
Our key goals follow on from our motto. They are:
1. To expect and achieve average and above average expected levels of attainment for each individual child
2. That each child feels cared for, valued and safe in school
3. That children enjoy their experience in school, providing them with a firm foundation for later life
From these three areas each can be further detailed to give targets and criteria by which we can measure our success.
