OUR PURPOSE, VISION AND VALUES

At Braishfield Primary School, our purpose is to help every child grow to be the best version of themselves that they can be. By educating each child emotionally, physically, spiritually and academically, we will prepare them for their future. In doing this, we will equip our children with the life skills to become confident, caring citizens who can play a positive and active role in modern society.

Our vision for the school is a positive, nurturing and happy school community, based on kindness, honesty and respect for ourselves, each other and for our environment. We will all strive to be successful lifelong learners by developing inquisitiveness, independence, collaboration and resilience. We will all strive for excellence in everything that we do. We will all be brave, resilient learners, prepared to take learning risks and learn from our mistakes.

We will create:

• A safe, happy and inclusive culture that celebrates every child as an individual, each with their own set of unique talents
• A stimulating learning environment based on a rich, balanced and exciting curriculum that challenges children to think and ask questions
• A culture based on positive relationships and mutual trust where children's learning, well-being and achievement sits at the heart of everything that we do
• An environment for developing successful, self-motivated, lifelong learners who work hard, have high expectations of themselves and who fulfil their true potential
• A culture of working independently and collaboratively, where we see getting something wrong as part of learning how to get it right and where challenge is embraced
• An encouraging environment, where everyone is supported to progress and improve, through excellent teaching and hard work
• Exciting and challenging opportunities to promote our children's personal development and emotional and physical well-being

• High expectations of good behaviour, enabling children to take responsibility for their actions and make informed choices
• Purposeful partnerships and forge strong links with parents, church, local schools and the wider community

We value, encourage and celebrate:

• Kindness, honesty and respect
• Positive attitudes to learning- inquisitiveness, independence, collaboration and resilience and a determination to try your best and have high aspirations
• The individual talents and achievements of everyone in our school
• Good behaviour
