Green Lea First School. School Improvement Plan 2015 – 2017. Katy Wilson.

Vision

At Green Lea First School, we believe that learning should be fun, purposeful and challenging. Through our effective curriculum we aim to equip each child with the skills they need for lifelong learning. We aim to develop confident learners, who take ownership of their learning and are proud of their achievements.

We believe that ‘Everybody is somebody’

We believe that good teamwork and positive partnerships- with individual children, the whole class, our colleagues, with governors, parents and the wider community will lead to effective teaching, high standards and successful learning.

Through positive attitudes and partnerships we endeavour to develop the whole child, meeting individual needs in a safe and secure environment where differences are celebrated.

Children educated at Green Lea are tolerant, committed and confident. The School works in close partnership with the community to develop citizens who will lead happy and rewarding lives.

Aims At Green Lea First School we endeavour to provide pupils with a high standard of education and welfare preparing them for life in this rapidly changing world. To ensure that all pupils reach their full potential we aim to support them in becoming -

happy children with high self esteem and positive attitudes.

sensitive to the needs of all others, showing consideration and kindness.

respectful of others opinions, efforts, culture and property.

creative thinkers and learners.

independent learners who are literate, numerate and articulate.

able to adapt to change, respond enthusiastically and seize opportunities.

confident in their immediate surroundings and the wider community.

ready to contribute to their community and take responsibility.

prepared to take on the next stage in their education.
