Mission Statement :
‘Every day counts, every minute matters!’
Our mission statement ‘Every day counts, every day matters’ reflects our understanding and beliefs. We aim to ensure that the children at our school are provided with high quality learning experiences based on a broad and balanced curriculum. We strive to encourage all learners to value education and the benefits it brings.
Vision Statement :
At Ladygrove, we believe in developing learners who can embrace opportunities and face challenges both in and outside of the classroom.
We believe in educating the individual, fostering talents that are not just academic but developing sporting, musical and a range of interests, which are nurtured and encouraged.
Our school strives to be at the centre of the local community with positive and effective links to the wider and global communities.
We work hard to prepare children for life in 21st century Britain, by teaching children the importance of sustainability, the difference between right and wrong and how to learn from and respect similarities and difference in culture, race and gender.
Our children deserve the best and we see excellence in teaching as laying the foundations for life long success. We teach our children to become ‘good learners’; developing skills of resilience, reflection, reciprocity and resourcefulness; so they are equipped with learning skills that will prepare them for life in an ever-changing world!
We strive for all of our children to reach their full potential, through providing a context rich curriculum which broadens their experiences and develops their imagination, creativity and fascination in learning in a safe and happy environment.
