PETTS HILL PRIMARY SCHOOL VISION & VALUES

At Petts Hill we strive for excellence in all we do; we work tirelessly to provide all our children with the educational experiences and support needed to flourish and to ensure they leave our school equipped to lead a successful and happy life. We provide excellent teaching and learning opportunities to enable every child to experience academic success and develop a lifelong love of learning. We aim to equip all children with key skills to enable them to become independent learners.
Our vision for our pupils is that:
They will approach life with creativity; they can think flexibly and creatively in the way they approach challenge, can express themselves well in a variety of ways and understand that there are a multitude of routes to success.
They always treat themselves and others with compassion and respect. They have an awareness of the difficulties and issues faced by the world and the people in it, and show empathy and a desire to help others. Through regular experiences in the outdoor environment, our children will show respect for the natural world and will appreciate its value.
They will have the courage to be ambitious and aspirational to achieve the highest standards. They will show resilience and determination in their learning, leading to continual progress. All our children will have a belief in their future success and can recognise the talents within themselves. They will be courageous in standing up for what is right based on our shared values of respect and inclusion.
They will have a strong sense of belonging to our school. They will recognise and value the importance of community and take an active and positive role in our school community and as global citizens. They will demonstrate exceptional behaviour for learning, good manners, self-care and respect.
