Chisenhale is proud to be a community school. Our community is a rich social and ethnic mix and families are welcomed to become an important part of school life. We have a really committed and hard-working staff team, who want children to enjoy learning through a range of interesting experiences.

Our vision is Learning Together for a Better Future and in order to achieve this vision we aim for all children to be

• Successful learners
• Confident individuals
• Responsible citizens

As a school we have a strong ethos of inspiring children to enjoy learning. We celebrate the rich diversity within our community and nurture children’s individuality.

Staff’s particular talents are valued and we also recognise the need for consistency and shared standards for school life.

Our aim is to do the best for every individual child - working hard to make sure that the vision, values and school improvement plans are carried out throughout the school.

During the 2018/19 school year we considered the school’s vision and the values we thought underpinned that vision. The children, staff, parents and governors were involved in the process which in itself was interesting, challenging and rewarding.

It was felt that the school motto of 'Learning Together for a Better Future' was still wholly relevant, but from here we developed a vision with two threads. One relates to who we want our children to be as we nurture them in school - RESPECTFUL CITIZENS. And the other is about how we ensure they understand that there are no boundaries or limits and that what we can't do is just not yet in this WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES.

Our curriculum, ethos and practices are built upon these threads with a focus on seven core values:

Confidence; Curiosity; Ambition; Resilience; Creativity; Co-operation & Kindness.
