Vision / Mission Statement of South Harringay Junior School
Valuing the individual, celebrating learning
SHJS is a Junior School where the focus is on each individual, acknowledging both rights and responsibilities. A strong pastoral structure underpins a quality curriculum that seeks to recognise and develop the potential of every student within a thoughtful, safe and stimulating environment.
Learning is celebrated in all its forms. The school believes in promoting life long learning.
We believe that learning is accomplished by giving the child a sense of self-worth.
We are continually striving to help each child gain independence. We work to increase each child’s self-esteem and to develop an attitude of ‘I can do it’ at all times. It is our aim to create a positive and nurturing environment in which children learn skills that will enable them eventually to become independent, productive,
caring people.
The school has a qualified and highly committed staff, both teaching and nonteaching.
We aim to provide, in partnership with parents and carers, an environment in which each child is cared for socially, emotionally, physically, spiritually and academically.
The Headteacher, the staff and the Governors at SHJS believe that all children are entitled to enjoy their childhood. They should be valued for their individuality, culture and heritage. They should be allowed to develop their full potential in an inspiring and happy environment.
