Oldbrook First School
Mission Statement

Living and Learning Together

Aims of the School

• To promote a sense of community, where everyone can live and learn together;

• To develop confident, enthusiastic and independent learners through purposeful and challenging activities;

• To encourage children to strive for excellence and enjoyment in their learning and take a personal pride in their own achievements and the achievements of others;

• To provide a safe and healthy environment where everyone is valued and respected, whatever their gender, ability, colour, religion or culture;

• To foster and promote the development of the whole child and develop the necessary skills, concepts, knowledge and understanding across the whole curriculum;

• To help children develop an understanding of the world in which they live, enabling them to achieve economic wellbeing and make a meaningful and positive contribution now and in the future.
  

The aims of the school are achieved through a broad, balanced, relevant, well planned and resourced curriculum, which is differentiated to meet the individual needs and abilities of all children, and through the partnership between school, parents, governors and the community.

These aims were reviewed by the Governing Body in February 2007
in the light of the five outcomes of Every Child Matters.
