ST. JOSEPH’S PRIMARY SCHOOL

MISSION STATEMENT

 

 

In St Joseph’s Primary School

our main aim is to prepare children for life,

as responsible, caring citizens of a multicultural society,

according to Gospel values.

 

In addition we pledge to:

 

• Work in partnership with North Lanarkshire to provide conditions and experiences which will promote the spiritual, moral, physical, social and intellectual development of pupils.

 

• Build a sense of Christian Community.

 

• Provide an encouraging atmosphere promoting security and confidence in pupils.

 

• Provide a balanced curriculum characterised by the highest standards of teaching and learning and by a search for continual improvement.

 

• Ensure that learning experiences are planned, purposeful and matched to the needs, abilities and readiness of pupils.

 

• Hold pupils in high regard, respecting their dignity, worth and individuality.

 

• Strive to ensure that Christian values are evident in the personal example of staff in their interactions with pupils and each other.   They should be approachable and sensitive to children’s emotional and social circumstances.

 

• Promote positive behaviour but when discipline is necessary we will emphasise patience, forgiveness and reconciliation.

 

• Maintain our excellent partnership with parents and close links with the local community.

 

 In return we hope that parents will support their children and show an interest in the activities of the school.
