Mavisbank School

Vision & Values

 

Our mission is

to provide learning experiences

whereby all pupils will maximise their potential in a

happy, caring and supportive environment.

 

The vision and values of the school are based on the fundamentals of the United Nations Rights of the Child at our centre and and are shared through our:

Curriculum to:

Ensure that the additional support needs of our pupils are met through the provision of an appropriately challenging curriculum, provide a wide and varied curriculum that is well planned and delivered in an interesting and stimulating way. Pupil support is at a level that means pupils have a voice, maximum independence and access to their learning experiences.

Article 29: The Right to the Objectives of Education (to develop abilities, talents and personality).

Support for Pupils to:

Create a safe and caring environment where each pupil’s learning, social and emotional needs are addressed.

Article 19: Right to Protection from violence, abuse, and neglect.

Article 27: Right to an adequate Standard of Living (to meet their physical, social and development needs).

Article 3: The best interests of the child in all decisions and actions which affect them.

Professional Development to:

Provide opportunities for staff to further develop their expertise in the field of additional support needs, while acknowledging North Lanarkshire Council’s Policy on Equal Opportunities in the process.

Article 4: Responsibility of Government to implement (all aspects of) the Convention through their structures therefore protect and promote all rights for children including anti-discrimination, welfare and educational rights.

Celebrating Success to:

Foster an ethos which acknowledges achievement and celebrates success for all pupils and staff.

Article 13: Freedom of expression and access to information within the law. Mavisbank School acknowledges all its learning community through sharing achievements and successes with respect.

Article 15: Freedom of association where acknowledgement and recognition within a group such as Mavisbank  School, enables and encourages identity to and within the group.

 

Raising Achievement for All forms the overarching strategy for the service. Subtitled ‘Experiences to Last a Lifetime’, this strategy aims to harness the combined forces of Education and Families and all relevant Services to provide a rich set of learning opportunities and experiences for young people and adults which begin in the classroom, nursery or learning centre and extend out into the community and the wider world beyond. In seeking to offer ‘Experiences to Last a Lifetime’, we will also look to draw upon ‘a lifetime of experiences’ already there in the communities which make up North Lanarkshire.
