Vision and Values
Our School Vision
At Ivy Lane School we believe in ‘Learning for Life’. We aim to equip every child with both the skills to be successful beyond their primary years and a life-long appetite for learning.
We aim to achieve this by:
- Having high expectations of all children in their learning
- Promoting high standards of behaviour & the school values
- Providing opportunities for parental partnership & involvement
- Valuing high attendance
- Offering a broad & balanced curriculum with a local, national & global focus
- Aiming for all our children to be competent readers and read for pleasure
- Harnessing technology to support learning
- Promoting sports and healthy lifestyles
- Teaching ‘Learning for Life’ skills
- Giving all children the opportunity to experience the arts & the ‘natural world’
- Utilising the local and wider community to encourage ‘out of class’ learning
- Providing opportunities for all our pupils to be active citizens within the school & wider community
This vision was agreed between the pupils (School Council), parents (Parent Forum), staff and governors of Ivy Lane School in 2012/13.
