| - education is a life long experience and a basic right of every child, as they are unique, of equal worth and special.
- life is a blend of intellectual, cultural, physical, spiritual and emotional experiences and, as educators, we must endeavour to develop every child to their full potential.
- although the pace of a child's learning may very and their individual achievements will differ, their potential for learning is infinite.
|
| | We will therefore work with the children in our care to help them to: | |
| - develop their full potential in every curriculum area
- develop respect for each other and the environment and to make a positive contribution to the local community and the wider world
develop pride, confidence and independence in themselves and their work
- develop attitudes which foster learning, including a willingness to question, listen and observe, argue rationally and apply themselves to task
- develop a sense of responsibility, self-discipline and self-motivation
