Our Vision
Woodlands Primary is a school connected to its community where children are nurtured, happy and feel like they belong.
Our Promise
We will welcome you as part of our community at Woodlands, we will listen to you, and we will work together to maximise everyone’s wellbeing, learning and development.
Our Values
At Woodlands, we have high expectations for all pupils. We expect children to be ‘Wonderful Woodies’ by demonstrating our school values:
Our values underpin everything we do- always with the children’s best interests at heart. They are how we treat each other and communicate with one another. We expect pupils, staff, families and school partners to display our values through all interactions and decision making. This begins with and is modelled by the adults in school.
We are kind – we act and communicate with kindness; we show empathy and compassion for one other. We care about what matters to you, and respect and understand differences in opinion. We will try to solve any problems together and always consider how our behaviour and actions can affect others. We are approachable and we will listen, we will do our very best to help you.
We are committed – we are ambitious in what we set out to achieve and we value effort at Woodlands. We are committed to working together as a team to improve outcomes for all children and supporting each other. We are resilient- we never give up and are committed to building the skills that help us build positive relationships and manage our behaviour. We are committed to prioritising safety for everyone in our learning community.
We are inclusive – everyone is welcome at Woodlands, and everyone matters. We aim to build strong and protective relationships that help us all feel loved and that we belong here. We are understanding and tolerant of others’ differences. We celebrate diversity and know our school is part of a wider community and wider world that we are all part of and care about. We understand the importance of equity, fairness and reducing barriers to ensure everyone is provided with the tools they need to succeed.
Children’s Rights
Our commitment to Children’s Rights underpins our Vision, our Promise and our Values at Woodlands. This means that our pupils have, in line with the UNCRC, the right to not be discriminated against, the right to have decisions taken in their best interest, the right to be kept safe from harm and the right to be given a voice.
