Our Values & Ethos
Vision
At Woodhouse Primary School we aim to provide a welcoming, safe and caring environment where everybody is encouraged to become a successful, resilient and confident learners. We have high expectations and work collaboratively enabling our pupils to have a good understanding of the world in which they are growing up. We encourage our pupils to think for themselves and respect others, thus enabling them to build on their growing knowledge and be responsible, self-assured citizens.
Each half term, the curriculum focus links to one of the six school aims: Be United, Be Creative, Be Bold, Be Safe, Be Healthy and Be Caring.
Be United
To celebrate our social and cultural diversity so that everyone feels valued and respected
Be Creative
To offer a curriculum which is relevant and creative; promoting high quality learning which challenges and develops all our pupils’ talents and gifts enabling them to reach their full potential
Be Bold
To provide learning experiences, both inside and outside the classroom, which promote and develop pupils’ independence and resilience
Be Safe
To provide a caring, secure and nurturing environment where all can learn, work or play with confidence
Be Healthy
To provide opportunities for pupils to develop healthy lifestyles and thereby promote physical, spiritual and emotional well – being
Be Caring
To respect and value ourselves and others in the community by displaying positive attitudes, pride in our school, appreciation of each other and challenging negative influences and behaviour
In addition to covering the National Curriculum, our curriculum aims to address issues which are pertinent to Woodhouse and develop the cultural capital of our pupils:
- We want our children to understand the factors that affect their physical skills, self – esteem and emotional well-being so that they are able to recognise the importance of pursuing a healthy lifestyle and develop coping strategies to keep themselves safe and healthy
- We need to enable our children to develop self - awareness in order to take more responsibility for their decisions and actions and minimise over reliance on adults
