Vision and Values
Central to everything we are working to achieve is the school vision. We are striving to create an exceptional school where all members of the school community:
- Are proud of the school, respectful of each other, socially responsible, and believe in and promote our values
- Work within an atmosphere of mutual support, respect and collaboration
- Are committed to individual and collective success and place no ceiling on aspiration
- Celebrate effort as well as achievement, take risks and learn from mistakes, recognising the intrinsic value of learning
- Place the needs of the child at the centre of learning, nurture their creativity in overcoming the challenges of today and develop their resilience to address the uncertainties of tomorrow
The exceptional school that we will create will be founded upon the following beliefs:
- We believe in fairness, equity and inclusion: we value every child for who they are and show compassion and understanding in our dealings with one another
- We strive for excellence in everything we do: we have high aspirations for everyone and believe that children and adults thrive in a climate of praise, celebration and recognition. We always measure ourselves against the highest standards
- We believe in working together to protect the interests and well-being of all members of our community
We value working in partnership with others and in September 2019 we joined with four other schools in Kirklees and Calderdale to form the Together Learning Trust. This multi-academy trust, which replaces our previous Co-operative Trust status, has been founded on the principles of Integrity, Creativity and Excellence. Our expectation is that by working together as a family of schools we will be able to provide even greater opportunities for our learners and greater access to professional development for our staff. We are pleased that many of our previous Co-operative Trust partners agreed to transfer across to support this new venture and are continuing to work with us to develop our children into well-rounded and socially responsible young adults.
