Visions and values
Our vision for Neale-Wade and our community is one of opportunity, success, confidence and pride.
Experience tells us that we are happiest when we are at our most confident. It is confidence in ourselves and others, that enables us to be proud of who we are and our community.
Being able to progress with our learning and approach the future with optimism is crucial, not only for our own wellbeing, but also ensuring we are successful in our ventures.
Confidence is learned. It is only through opportunity are we able to discover new talents, develop our interests or progress our learning. Providing a range of opportunities in and out of the classroom is fundamental to our curriculum at Neale-Wade.
Recognising our success is how we embed and reinforce these attributes. It is only through the support and recognition from others, that we are able to have the courage and motivation to continue our development.

"Curriculum leaders have reviewed their curriculum plans to make them more ambitious than before. Many curriculum plans now identify clearly what is important for pupils to learn. The trust and governing body work closely with leaders to make the school better. Staff at all levels understand that more needs to be done to improve the school and gain the trust of the school community once again."
