We aim to make Bevendean a school in which:
children receive every encouragement to develop intellectually, physically, aesthetically, socially, emotionally and spiritually;
work in all areas of the curriculum shows clear continuity and progression, is regularly of good standard and is often outstanding;
the high quality of presentation of children's work reflects the high value we place on their efforts;
the classroom environment is attractive, stimulating, well-organised and planned in such a way as to encourage industry and independence;
other areas of the school environment are attractive, well-maintained and stimulating, and provide areas where children can run, play, learn or sit quietly and reflect;
children's and adults attitudes towards one another are based on genuine caring and mutual respect;
children's behaviour and self-discipline are exemplary;
the children's education benefits from a successful working partnership between children, parents, staff, governors and the local community;
parents perceive a clear sense of purpose, an exciting, challenging and fulfilling education for their children and the opportunity to work in harmony with the school;
all the staff, teaching and support, participate in a continuous process of professional development which celebrates successes and which identifies and provides resources for areas of further development;
attainment levels across the curriculum, but especially in literacy and numeracy, are high;
agreed whole-school policies, both curricular and non-curricular, are well-defined and evident in practice;
staff and children have access to a wide range of quality resources which are well used to enhance their education;
a warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere is always to be found.
