VALUES AND ETHOS
MISSION STATEMENT
To provide a safe and stimulating environment in which each child can learn and develop their natural abilities, enabling them to pursue opportunities for a happy and successful life.
OUR AIMS
It is the philosophy of the school that every child be treated as an individual, with respect to their own personality, their intellectual, physical, emotional, social and spiritual level and growth. Thus, all children, whatever their ability, receive the same care and attention.
- We promote good manners and kindness to all, so creating a family atmosphere within the school.
- We respect our children equally regardless of sex, colour or creed, and we believe that all of them can be helped to develop further and learn more.
- We try, at all times, to allow each child to develop a sense of self-respect and the ability to contribute as members of the school family, so that in later life they will become useful members of the community.
- We wish to motivate the children by encouraging them and by making learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
- We do, however, recognise that they must have discipline to achieve this, and to this end the school operates a system to encourage effort, manners and good work.
School Vision Statement
We will ensure that every child and adult ‘shines’ and becomes the best that they can become.
We are a school where children’s rights are at the heart of everything we do, our ethos and culture. We recognise the link between rights and developing every child’s talents and abilities, so they reach their full potential.
Children need to understand that society is not an equal playing field. It is our job to ensure that we give our children the best possible chance through providing an extensive and enriched curriculum, bespoke to our local context. Our curriculum must provide those experiences and opportunities, so that our children are able to make the right choices about their next steps and futures.
We understand that each child is unique. We acknowledge the worth of all that each child brings and the value they add to our school community. We strive for excellence in everything that we do, and we believe that working in close partnership with parents, families and the community will enable our children to achieve their full potential: academically, as global citizens, moral leaders and good human beings. We think big for our children and believe that it can happen here!
We promise our children will be inspired, understand who they are, and have a strong sense of identity with high self-esteem and self-worth.
We will do this through:
- promoting and creating a safe, secure, supportive, respectful and caring environment in which to work and learn;
- offering a broad, balanced and engaging curriculum that aims to provide every child with a range of memorable experiences, both inside and outside school, while preparing them for the future;
- providing well-resourced classrooms and teaching that motivates, inspires and meets the needs of all learners; and having the highest expectations of, and for, everyone – staff and pupils.
This vision will be re-designed following a comprehensive programme of consultation and discussion with the plan of a new statement launching before September 2024.
Our behaviour policy is centred around the expectations we have of all of us within the Carter's Charity school community. These are below:
