Vision and Values
At Waterside Primary School we want our children to ‘Be the best we can be’ in their learning, in their play, in their sport; at home, at school and throughout life.
Our vision is that we provide a caring and supportive environment, with high expectations and a rich, broad and balanced curriculum. We want our children to leave here having achieved their full potential; ready to continue their adventures in learning and life fully equipped to excel and succeed, with big dreams and high ambition.
Our Aims are…
For all:
- To feel safe and secure in school;
- To know themselves;
- To be confident in taking on new challenges;
- To have high aspirations;
- To see making mistakes as a chance to improve next time;
- To be self-motivated and self-reliant;
- To be kind and considerate to others and respectful of differing opinions;
- To be interested in the world, to care for the planet and to believe that we can all make a difference.
Learning Pirates
Learning is about aquiring Knowledge, Skills and Understanding. But to best embed these we need the habits or the behaviours which will allow us to use them well when we need to.
The best learners have developed good habits.
To help us on our way we have our ‘Learning Pirates’ who teach us how to be responsible, resilient, reflective, resourceful and reasoning. Find out more about our pirates here.
