Our Mission and Aims

Our School Motto:

'Learning by Caring and Sharing'

Our Mission

For all of our pupils to be successful: personally and academically.

 

Our Aims

The aim of our provision is to foster a life-long love of learning. We help our children to develop this passion through the following aims:

 

These aims are our curriculum drivers that shape our curriculum, bring about the mission and values of our school, and to respond to the particular needs of our community. They are designed to ensure that our children are personally successful, independent and reflective thinkers, ready for their journey of lifelong learning. Life is not a straight line; therefore we want our pupils to be prepared to overcome their challenges and embrace new opportunities.

 

Our Values

At The Meadows, we want our pupils to lead successful and fulfilling lives.  To help them flourish, we have identified the core qualities we actively develop in children and model during their time with us: these are known to our school community as our ‘Secrets of Success’.

A successful learner at The Meadows displays the following qualities:

 

The qualities above are at the core of our ethos and culture. They underpin our teaching and learning and are promoted in our learning environment. We want our children to know that success is a choice; it is brought about through hard work, dedication, reflection, and resilience. We ensure that our children know that school is a safe place to make mistakes – that mistakes are an essential part of the learning experience.
