CHILDREN, PARENTS<br />
OUR AIMS FOR OUR STUDENTS<br />
To identify and develop potential:<br />
Every child is unique. Every child has individual talents and<br />
abilities. Every child has potential; it is our job to recognise<br />
and build upon this. Talents come in all shapes and sizes,<br />
from <strong>the</strong> artistic, to <strong>the</strong> sportive, from <strong>the</strong> personal to <strong>the</strong><br />
academic. It is through encouragement, praise, high<br />
expectations, challenge and support that <strong>the</strong>se talents can<br />
be fully developed.<br />
To create success for all:<br />
We set targets for all our students, so that <strong>the</strong>y, and we,<br />
know exactly what needs to be done for <strong>the</strong>m to succeed.<br />
Children who are gifted, able and talented are challenged<br />
early on. Equally, children experiencing learning or<br />
behavioural difficulties are supported. Individual learning<br />
plans are drawn up in order that this support be effective. Yet<br />
no child is invisible, and those children that fit nei<strong>the</strong>r category<br />
comfortably are not forgotten, but provided with additional<br />
focus. At <strong>school</strong>, academic development is<br />
not all. Emotional and<br />
social well-being is highly<br />
important. Our Learning<br />
Coach Director aims to work<br />
with both staff and students<br />
alike in order to ensure <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
happiness and well-being.<br />
To promote learning for life:<br />
Pastoral care is strong<br />
and staff go to<br />
considerable lengths to<br />
ensure that all students<br />
are able to achieve.<br />
We are committed to improving <strong>the</strong> quality of work we do with our<br />
students, to show <strong>the</strong>m that adults as well as children need to go on learning<br />
throughout <strong>the</strong>ir lives. Personal relationships between staff and students are<br />
vital for:<br />
• fostering self-confidence<br />
• fostering self-respect<br />
• supporting each child’s growth into a mature and conscientious adult<br />
• maintaining tolerance<br />
• maintaining honesty<br />
• promoting consideration for o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />
