Our Vision

We BELIEVE that:
- All children should have a thirst for learning and all teachers should have a passion for teaching
- All members of the Gray’s Farm community are valued equally
- All our pupils deserve the very best quality of teaching that we can provide
- Our staff, pupils and parents deserve to be treated with courtesy and respect and that there is no place for verbal intimidation, aggressive behaviour or violence
- Our school is at the centre of our community and provides a safe haven for our pupils to grow and develop as well-rounded young people ready to progress confidently onto the next stage of their education
We expect our pupils to ACHIEVE by:
- Expecting our parents to ensure that their children attend school regularly and on time
- Setting high expectations of behaviour in class and around our school
- Working hard to fulfil their potential and developing as confident independent learners
- Providing consistently high quality teaching at each key stage and in each class
- Closely monitoring pupil progress and attainment and benchmarking this against national standards
- Providing targeted support to those pupils who require it
- Working closely with our parents
- Valuing each and every child for the contribution that they make, respecting personal values and celebrating diversity
- Providing an innovative, inclusive and high quality curriculum as well as opportunities to learn beyond, as well as within, the school’s immediate environment
Our pupils will SUCCEED when:
- They regularly attend school and are rarely absent
- Parents are supportive to their children’s learning and want them to succeed
- They work hard, enjoy learning and do as well as they can
- They trust and respect each other and are determined to be the best they can be
- They rarely misbehave
- They know the difference between right and wrong and accept responsibility for the choices that they make
Our school will SUCCEED when:
- Teaching is consistently good or better and high expectations are set
- Attainment levels are in line with or better than the national average
- Levels of progress are in line with or better than national levels of expectation
- Behaviour in classes and during playtimes is consistently good
- Attendance is above the national average
- All our parents are supportive to the school, ensure that their children attend regularly and assist them by valuing the work of the school and its staff
