In July 2024 we decided it was time to reinvigorate our school vision. 

• It had been created more than 16 years ago and did not reflect the staff, pupils, parents or governors of today.
• The children did not know it anymore, they recognised ‘shine’ but the other values had been lost.
• It was not aligned to current research and best practice which validates the need for achievement.
• There was too to it to remember, it needed to be more succinct.
• We wanted it to motivate all stakeholders, create a culture that would help our school be a great place to be and drive achievement.

We did wish however to keep the school’s identity and individuality.

We consulted with:

• Staff in July 20024
• Parent survey 2025
• Governors in meetings and surveys in 2025
• We talked to our pupils
• Parents mostly wanted their children to be happy!

 

The key words were:

• Our Headteacher, Mrs Borrington worked with our Local Authority School Improvement Partner to draft ideas. 
• As a new Senior Leadership team we decided on the new vision and values.
• Now we are sharing with yourselves...
