THE AIMS OF BRIZE NORTON SCHOOL

       
The Mission Statement is:  belonging, learning and succeeding
 
 

Vision:   We believe that the primary years shape children for life. As well as giving them the essential tools for learning, primary education is about children experiencing the joy of discovery, solving problems and being creative. Our vision is to provide all children in our care with the self confidence and skills to become life long learners.

 

   
       
       

Aims: 

We are working to:

  • promote safe and healthy lifestyles

  • educate and nurture each child so that s/he can achieve their full potential as enthusiastic learners

  • enable the school community to care for and respect each other and show consideration towards others

  • encourage children to see obstacles as an opportunity to learn, developing self-esteem and self awareness

  • develop lively and creative minds with an ability to question

  • ensure that all children achieve success when working independently and cooperatively with others
