Vision, Ethos and Values
Vision
The staff, governors, pupils and parents of St. Andrew’s Academy collectively created our school vision in 2019. We worked tirelessly to ensure that every word within our vision spelt out clearly our collected views and finally agreed, unanimously, that the following summed up our thoughts:
“At St. Andrew’s Primary School we are dedicated to provide a happy and caring community where everyone feels safe, valued and equal. We give the key to open the doors to life long possibilities and achievements in a diverse and ever-changing modern world.”
Ethos
St. Andrew’s Primary School is committed to learning that is engaging, inspiring and enjoyable and to learning that endeavours to ensure every individual reaches their full potential. We aim for all children to gain lifelong learning skills in a happy, secure, caring environment of mutual trust and respect. Our fantastic team has a strong commitment to high quality teaching and learning. We believe in the development of the “whole child” as an individual and endeavour to encourage them towards a successful future where they will use the skills and qualities they have learned to become responsible global citizens in an ever changing world.
Values
We have recently reviewed our Core Values with our School Council, who engaged the whole school community in deciding on these 6 important Core values, 1 per half term:
- Autumn 1 - Teamwork
- Autumn 2 - Independence
- Spring 1 - Gratitude
- Spring 2 - Excellence
- Summer 1 - Resilience
- Summer 2- Respect
