School Values and Ethos
Vision
“Champions for every child”
At St Luke’s we believe that every child should have the opportunity to flourish regardless of their starting points. We aim to provide a safe, caring and stimulating environment that is focused on supporting the children to make outstanding progress. We believe in celebrating the children’s achievement no matter how small. At St Luke’s we are champions for every child. Children who do something extra special at school receive the Champions Award during Friday’s celebration Assembly.
Ambition
At St Luke’s we aim to be an outstanding school. We want the children to be taught by outstanding teachers who understand their academic, personal and social needs and support them to achieve their full potential. We want to create a climate where all staff are confident in knowing how to support each individual child’s specific needs, including when a child’s behaviour challenges.
At St Luke’s we are working towards being a school which supports all aspects of a child’s needs as this will have a positive effect on their school life, home life and social life and will help them prepare for later life. We want to improve further how we work with families and other agencies to support children with their behaviour, personal care needs, sleeping and diet.
At St Luke’s we are creating a culture of learning. We are developing staff who are well trained to meet the children’s needs and who understand how their specific needs impact on their behaviours and communication. We are creating a culture where staff share ideas and discuss the impact of the children’s needs on their learning and life. We want to develop the skills of each child to ensure they are resilient and have a “can do” attitude.
Teaching and Learning
At St Luke’s Primary School we aim to create a learning community where children with a range of needs are taught in inclusive classrooms. We aim to ensure that all children can make the best progress they can.
Values Statements
We are working towards achieving the following values statements:
