Vision and Values
‘Choosing to be Successful’
As an inclusive primary school, we work towards unlocking the potential of ALL our children, regardless of their starting points and perceived limits, so they can be happy and become the most successful version of themselves.
We aim to achieve this by providing a safe, nurturing and inspiring learning environment that supports our children both physically and emotionally.
Our successes are built on shared values and high expectations, provided by an aspirational and enriched curriculum and a supportive community.
“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” (Herman Cain)
Our School Values
Quite simply, we value that a child’s happiness is the key for them to learn, achieve and see themselves as successful individuals. Our values are reflected in the work we do in school, at home, together as a community and beyond.
Our School values are underpinned by our ‘Secrets to Success’ which drive everything we do. As part of ‘The North Scarle Family’ we value, and want our children to value, that success is about happiness, choices and feeling good about yourself. It’s about recognising that everyone has setbacks and failures but for a ‘North Scarle Learner’ the first step to success is choosing. As we reflect on our values we want them to support us all in determining who we are and who we want to become, how we treat others and how we wish to be treated.
