Our vision and values -
Goddard Park is an inclusive school that enables all members of its school community to achieve their full potential and develop a positive attitude towards lifelong learning. The school has high expectations in all areas of school life and for our wider community. The values of kindness, respect, perseverance and courage underpin our vision. We are committed to the safeguarding and well-being of all children and adults. Our behaviour approach is based upon the three expectations of being ready, respectful and safe.
Our aims are:
- to teach a progressive curriculum with an emphasis on the core subjects using an approach that builds upon the child’s knowledge, experience and understanding of discrete subjects and relevant cross curricular learning.
- to provide a range of experiences that build on children’s cultural capital:
- to provide a nurturing, calm learning environment that will meet the educational needs, and the social and emotional well-being of the school community.
- to support our children to be ready, respectful and safe, in line with our school behaviour policy.
- to teach children to appreciate, respect and celebrate the differences in us all, and the unique contributions we make regardless of gender, ethnicity, disability, culture, or religion.
- to teach children to understand and contribute towards preserving the natural environment.
- to provide opportunities for personal and educational growth for all the school community.
