Our Vision and Values

VISION FOR WASHACRE PRIMARY SCHOOL

We provide a happy, nurturing and stimulating environment where all children recognise and achieve their fullest potential. They are well equipped to meet the challenges of education, work and life. Our children, parents, staff and governors are valued as individuals. Washacre‘s pupils become confident, motivated life-long learners who take risks and develop enquiring, investigative minds.

MISSION STATEMENT – OUR WHY (PURPOSE)

We believe that every child has talents and dreams. Our children must have the chance to achieve the very best they can in life. Critical to this is an outstanding education and it is our mission to deliver that experience for our children. By ensuring that children access an enabling environment with conscientious and skilled staff we can give children a head start in reaching those dreams.

VALUES AND PRINCIPLES

HOLISTIC

The spiritual, physical, emotional and intellectual aspects of our children’s lives are integrated. Therefore, we strive to help our children see their educational experience as a whole.

JOYFUL

We strive to ensure our children are engaged in a wide range of learning experiences in an emotionally literate environment and through these experiences develop a lifelong love of learning.

EXPANSIVE

Our children are stretched beyond their own comfort zones in order for them to examine and ultimately own, for themselves, beliefs and opinions about life.

MULTICULTURAL

We believe each child is given the opportunity to see the world through each other’s eyes and to develop a deep appreciation for all cultures and faiths.

TRANSFORMATIONAL

Children experience profound changes in their own intellectual, moral, spiritual and physical development. Our children will be encouraged to evaluate their personal growth over time and be committed to continued transformation as lifelong learners.

PERSONAL

Each student is valued, respected, and appreciated for who they are. Our children are not thought of only as group members, but as individuals with a personal educational experience and a personal worth beyond price.

ENGAGING

We believe our children should be active participants in their own and others’ educational experiences. They should take responsibility for their own learning, but they also should be offered a wide range of educational opportunities in which to participate.
