Vision & Values

OUR VISION – VALUES AND AIMS WERE UPDATE DURING SESSION 24/25

NMPS/NMNC Curriculum Design Update Power Point May 25

Values

The principles and ethos of UNCRC is fully embedded across our school and nursery and following consultation with all stakeholders across our learning community in 2025, our values were updated in line with what we represent as a school and nursery, and these are fully embedded in our practice across both our school and nursery.

 Nurture – Mindful – Passion – Successful

We feel these best embody the life and learning that takes place at New Monkland Primary School and Nursery Class, where we endeavour to create a place where everyone feels NURTURED within a MINDFUL environment, where learner’s PASSION can be fostered to allow them to be SUCCESSFUL. These values are also embedded further into our ethos and actions through our status as a Gold awarded ‘Rights Respecting School’ (RRS).

Vision

At New Monkland Primary School and Nursery Class, we are committed to providing the highest quality learning experiences for all our children by providing and developing a welcoming and friendly environment, where all stakeholders feel valued and able to have their voices heard. We ensure that we provide an inclusive and safe environment where learners encouraged to meet their full potential. We are ambitious, innovative and dedicated in supporting and educating all our children by providing opportunities for growth and development, within and out with the curriculum, with a focus on children’s interests, so that ALL children can achieve their full and individual potential, working in partnership with parents/carers and the wider community. We work effectively together as a team to provide high quality, meaningful and relevant learning experiences, in a fun and happy environment, setting aspirational goals, where everyone is given opportunities to achieve excellence and celebrate success.

Aims

We aim to continually modify, develop and upskill our existing very good practice within learning, teaching and assessment, through reflective, significant, career long professional development, to allow us to implement innovative and inclusive learning opportunities to raise attainment and achievement across the school and nursery. We are passionate and motivated in supporting learners in realising their full potential, where we actively seek new opportunities to inspire and motivate learners to achieve within the curriculum, and to build skills and knowledge for life beyond school, providing opportunities to learn digital and financial skills in preparation for employment. We foster attitudes of lifelong learning to encourage learners to realise their full potential through the curriculum and by collaborating with the community and beyond. By promoting and increasing parental and community involvement through partnerships and events, it allows us to utilise their skills to support both our school and nursery, fostering mutual respect, ensuring children’s dignity and values, providing a safe, happy and thriving school and nursery experience. By embedding the principal and ethos of the UNCRC, we promote inclusion by welcoming, valuing and supporting a range of individual needs and diversity, and fostering tolerance and understanding of the beliefs and cultures of others. We celebrate success by respecting the rights, dignity and values of all and we ensure all learners are safe, happy and thriving, both personally and academically.
