OUR SCHOOL VISION

Learning: To prepare the children to be ready for the world- to be resilient, academically able, socially confident, self-confident, mentally & physically strong. We want children (and adults!) to love learning and to see the benefit of being lifelong learners.

Leading: We want our learners to not just be able to ‘cope’ with the world and the challenges it brings, but to be the future generation of leaders that help change and improve our world for others.

Curriculum Intent

We intend that our curriculum will enable all pupils to be curious, independent, confident and involved (C.I.C.I). We believe these behaviours will support our vision for pupils to love learning and make a difference in the world.

Values

To make learning an enjoyable and challenging experience, preparing our pupils for life. To ensure all pupils and staff achieve as highly as possible.

Aldersbrook will be a successful learning culture, which will enable pupils to become effective, enthusiastic and independent learners for life.

Values are principles that guide behaviour. At Aldersbrook adults are encouraged to model values and to give time for discussion and reflection. We believe that this empowers individuals to be effective learners and good citizens.

Therefore, our school values reflect the behaviour we want to see. They are Curiosity, Independence, Confidence, Involvement. They are also Be Ready, Respectful and Safe, which are the values that underpin our Behaviour Policy. 

All our interactions, whether in lessons, assemblies, around the school should reflect and build these values, supporting children to teach them how to behave to reflect them. 

Our assemblies are planned to include discussion around these values, British Values and Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural learning. 

For the staff at Aldersbrook underpinning these values, is the value of Belonging. It fulfils a fundamental human need for connection and social inclusion. Belonging contributes to a sense of security and self-worth. Being part of a group helps individuals develop their identity and sense of self. A sense of belonging provides a support network that can help individuals navigate challenges and adversity. It can boost resilience, increase engagement and impact motivation.
