My vision for the future is to build on the current achievements and strengths of the school so that all children reach their potential. I believe schools should offer a broad curriculum which is enriched with exciting opportunities and experiences. This will mean that when they leave us in year 6, the children will be skilled, responsible, resilient and confident in their journey onto secondary education.  School should be a happy, caring, hard-working environment and I look forward to working with all the children, staff and families to ensure that we all strive for excellence together. I am passionate about education and have high expectations for all.

Aims of Our School Community

• To participate in building and supporting an atmosphere where respect, kindness, trust and loyalty is shown.
• To create a ‘Can Do/High Expectations’ culture where everyone is given equal opportunities and confidence and enthusiasm to surprise themselves with what they can achieve.
• To continue to develop a supportive environment, where all children and staff are actively involved and take responsibility for the process of their learning, enabling them to become reflective and creative thinkers.
• To continue to foster a positive partnership with parents, carers and the community, in order to enhance the educational and social opportunities and achievements of pupils.
• To provide the opportunity for everyone to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes required to contribute as healthy positive citizens whilst taking responsibility for themselves, the school and the wider environment.

Our Ethos

At Greenmeadow Primary School every individual is important and matters.  Every person is included as part of the Greenmeadow ‘family’.  We aim to encourage pupils to respect themselves and other people.

We hold consistency through the school as the ideal situation.  To that end all staff are expected to set a good example and to deal with aspects on pastoral care, discipline, dealing with property, uniform and attitudes in a similar manner.

We endeavour to promote positive values and attitudes through rewards, sanctions and discussing issues either with individuals, at a classroom level or through school assemblies.

We aim to realise the best a child can do, providing opportunities wherever possible to discover each child’s strengths and weaknesses.  Relative strengths are then acknowledged and achievements celebrated whilst weaknesses are supported.

We encourage a sense of corporate identity and acknowledgement of equality and pride through our school uniform.

The curriculum, other experiences and extra curricular activities all contribute to providing for the children’s spiritual, moral, cultural, social, educational and physical education.

We take seriously our responsibility to safeguard pupils’ well being in its broadest sense.

We believe our schools should be vibrant, friendly places where the children are at the heart of everything we do.

We believe in teaching skills, sharing knowledge and building special memories that children will take with them through the rest of their lives.

We believe that through inspirational teaching, determination, a lot of love and a lot of laughter, the children in our schools can achieve their greatest potential, regardless of their starting points in life.

We believe in teaching, modelling values and preparing them for life in the 21st Century and we believe that in doing so we will give them a solid foundation for their future.
