Our Vision

 

Our Vision

Our vision is that every child will succeed. We are highly aspirational for all of our children and we do whatever it takes to enable them to overcome barriers to their learning. We are committed to fair and equal access to the curriculum for all children, regardless of their starting points and taking into account any additional needs they may have. We work together to give each individual child the best possible experience of school life.

We are committed to developing lifelong learners who value and exhibit qualities such as:

  • Resilience
  • Aspiration
  • Imagination
  • Confidence
  • Collaboration

We focus on providing a safe and nourishing environment where children feel accepted, included and able to take on new challenges. With this in place, we know that we can instil a love of learning in our children.

In order achieve our vision we base our practice on the following strategies:

  • An inspiring and engaging curriculum which reflects our pupil’s world
  • Giving children ownership of their own learning and a role in planning a curriculum which reflects their interests and questions
  • Assessment for learning
  • A ‘brain-friendly’ approach based on what children need for optimal cognitive functioning
  • A strong behaviour policy based on mutual respect

British Values

It is Gordonbrock’s and every school’s responsibility to ‘promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.’

We do not teach specific lessons in British Values. Rather these values are embedded in our structures, our curriculum and our ethos. They are something which all staff model for our children, and for each other, every day. They are not only British values – they are values which are important to people of every nationality, all over the world.
