St. John Paul II Primary School & Nursery Class, Viewpark

In 2018, we established our current Values which are displayed around our school and have become very much part of our school ethos.

As part of this year’s Annual Improvement Plan we are looking at our Curriculum Rationale (the what, the when and the how things are taught!)   We are reviewing our Values as well as our Mission and Vision.  The kind of school we aspire to be, has a huge impact upon our Curriculum Rationale.    We want as many people who are involved in our school community as possible to have their say!  We would value your contribution.

We have put together a very short survey and would ask that you complete as soon as possible.  It won’t take you long… we promise!  Simply click HERE to take part.

Thank you!
