Vision and Values

Together we Learn

Our vision

At Greatstone Primary school staff challenge pupils to be active and creative, guiding pupils to think independently, to be the best possible version of themselves. Dreaming, daring and caring as they embark on their journey through from Nursery until they leave for secondary school and beyond.

Our values

We achieve our vision through our set of values which shape how we go about our learning each and every day and are reflected in our school rules (Ready, Respectful, Safe):

Care

Dream

Dare

TOGETHER WE CARE – We are respectful

Our Greatstone Primary School family is part of our proud community. We recognise we all learn and develop in different ways as unique individuals. We value these differences and teach the children the importance of their uniqueness and their understanding of the individuality of others. We are devoted to learning together to achieve more. We teach the children to care for themselves, for each other, their local and global community.

TOGETHER WE DREAM – We are ready

Children play, imagine and explore and these traits are essential to develop into intelligent, creative, practical and thoughtful young people. We have high expectations of ourselves and of the children and build capacity in our school family by setting ourselves, and our children, ambitious goals in all areas of development. A new and exciting curriculum reinforces basic skills and leads to high achievement for all. Skilled and professional teaching staff ensure children are enthused about learning by making individual steps clear through fun lessons inside and outside the classroom. We see children as individuals and as such they learn in a variety of ways, supported by a variety of teaching approaches. Their skills, successes and talents are embraced as individuals and celebrated in our school community.

TOGETHER WE DARE – We are safe

We believe that all members of our school can thrive and flourish academically, socially, emotionally and physically to be the best they can possibly be. We empower our children and build their confidence in taking their next small or big step. Ensuring a child’s self-confidence, self-concept and resilience is strong will equip them during their development throughout life. It is our commitment to teach our children to take these steps in a safe and nurturing environment.

Please do not hesitate in contacting us should you wish to discuss any information on our website further or to find out more about our school. We strive to be the best possible school that we can for your child and we look forward to working with you in achieving this during their primary school life.
