Vision and Values
At Waddington Redwood Primary Academy, our vision is ‘from tiny seeds, mighty Redwoods grow’ and our aim is to help every child to grow and flourish so by the time that they leave school they have the building blocks for life-long learning and can turn every small step into a giant leap.
Our values are:
Curiosity – This helps our children to explore, ask questions and investigate, creating a thirst for learning and fostering independence.
Citizenship – This helps our children to know more about and respect their community and uphold our British Values where respect and tolerance underpin the high moral standards that we encourage and support.
Contentment – This helps our children to self-regulate and to become happy, confident learners who understand how to keep themselves safe and are skilled at looking after their own and others’ mental and physical well-being.
Communication –This helps to show our children are supported with their reading and develop into effective communicators both orally and in written form.
We want our children to embody these values and become like the mighty Redwood tree!
The school offers a wide range of opportunities for learning both within and outside of the school environment. The children are at the heart of our school and all decisions, planning and activities are based on their interests and needs. We value every child, and learning takes place in an environment that promotes inclusion and equality. Our goal is for every child to receive personalised learning, building on their gifts, talents and interests, and meeting their needs in creative, fun and challenging ways, whilst also encouraging group collaboration and teamwork. We are dedicated to promoting children’s social, moral, spiritual and cultural development, and to building confidence in every child to enable them to take risks in a safe, happy and caring environment.
We promote and encourage high standards in terms of behaviour, conduct and morals, in an environment which thrives on mutual respect, openness and trust. We take every opportunity to reward and celebrate achievement, excellent effort and hard work.
