School Aims
Forest School works to provide a broad, balanced curriculum that meets the needs of each and every pupil.
We want our pupils to be ‘The best they can be’ and become:
- Confident Individuals
- Successful Learners
- Responsible Citizens
- Effective Contributors
We want our children to achieve the outcomes set out by the Children’s and Young Peoples Plan to:
- Be safe and nurtured
- Be healthy and active
- Achieve individual and economic potential
- Be included and respected
We have identified four aspects that we feel are especially important:
- Learning Together: Innovative and engaging learning
- Keeping Healthy: Healthy Body… Healthy Mind…
- Creativity: Seeing the world in different ways
- Environmental Awareness: Looking after our school – looking after our world
This is achieved by:
✔ stimulating a love of lifelong learning by inspiring pupils, encouraging curiosity and interest,
and developing an enquiring mind
✔ developing pupils’ independence and positive attitudes to life
✔ fostering responsibility and respect for self, others and the environment, both in the local
community and in the wider world
✔ creating a happy, welcoming and stimulating environment which is safe, supportive and
accessible for all, where everyone is valued and treated with respect
✔ promoting mutually beneficial links between the school and the wider community
✔ providing a curriculum for all pupils which is relevant, inclusive, motivating, and which offers
challenge
✔ creating opportunities for success, which promote the development of the whole pupil,
offering learning opportunities at a physical, creative, social, spiritual, moral and emotional
level
✔ encouraging each other to ‘be the best we can be’ in all aspects of our work and behaviour.
