Vision and Values - Lynch Hill Enterprise Academy
Vision and Values Our vision at Lynch Hill Enterprise Academy is for all students to leave school with the best possible outcomes alongside the ability to think critically, work independently, behave respectfully, and have a positive impact on the society around them. To achieve this our mantra is: “Aspire to be your best, achieve through effort and succeed with pride”. On a daily basis the following values will be evident in what we do: 1. We will have high expectations and aspirations in the classroom by: Ensuring that every child’s needs are known, understood, and met by us. Recognising and celebrating the progress of each individual student. Tailoring feedback so students know what they have done well, where they can still do better and how to improve. Using language that inspires ambition and clearly communicates expectations and goals. Ensuring that the development of reading skills is prioritised. Not accepting passive learners. 2. Our classrooms will be centres of exploration and excitement where: We take risks in our lesson planning and embrace approaches that spark curiosity. Critical thinking is ‘taught’ and developed through our skilful use of questioning. We learn things together… and sometimes fail together which helps us to understand that struggle and challenge help develop knowledge and skills. New learning is related to an everyday context where possible and links are made with future learning and career opportunities. Students develop into confident independent learners. 3. We will treat students with respect and model respectful behaviour in our interactions through: Using respectful and positive language with students. Being consistent and fair with sanctions, praise and rewards. Being a community that recognises and celebrates endeavour. Taking pride in our school and its surrounding community. Acknowledging and rewarding good choices made by students. 4. I will contribute to the success of the school every day by: Consistently applying school policies and procedures to support
