Parents and carers often describe our school as an extension of their family. Our ethos is based upon compassion and care for the individual. Every member of staff knows every child at our school.
It is our intention to provide a high quality of education for all our children, by:
- Promoting a broad, interesting, creative and relevant curriculum that will help pupils to develop lively, enquiring minds and to apply themselves to a wide variety of tasks and physical activities while gaining knowledge and skills relevant to both their current and adult lives.
- Providing a happy, motivating and challenging school environment in which each child can build on their strengths and show clear improvement through the love of learning, thus developing to their full potential.
- Promoting self esteem, respect, consideration and tolerance towards others and value everyone for their contribution to school life.
- Establishing a rich and rigorous environment within which all staff, governors, parents and our educational community can work together for the benefit of the children.
- Building on and extend community relationships and encourage citizenship amongst the children.
Our shared vision and mission statement is:
Excellence through Effort and Enjoyment
We are a learning community, where everyone is encouraged to be the best they can be and achieve their potential.
Our six Boughton Values are:
Responsibility
Tolerance
Respect
Compassion
Honesty
Courage
Our values are part of a spiral curriculum, meaning that they are revisited constantly; when we are focusing on one value, we are still mindful of all the others.
Each value is one of our 36 Character Strengths, all of which are designed to help every child become the best version of themselves.
