Our School: Aim high and achieve

At Dry Sandford School we aim to:

• Promote a whole school, family atmosphere that encompasses the whole community.

• Provide a happy, calm, stimulating environment where children can develop enquiring and lively minds.

• Encourage children to have high self esteem, be happy and confident in their learning in order to achieve their full potential to become life long learners.

• Promote an awareness of right, wrong and honesty in an atmosphere where it is safe to admit fault.

• Help children relate positively to others, appreciate their environment, respect all religions, race and different attitudes to life.

Celebrating achievement is part of every day life...

We can achieve these aims by:

• Promoting values through assembly, consistently rewarding good behaviour, providing PSHE opportunities and encouraging parental involvement in school life.

• Having continuous and consistent practices across the school which use a full range of resources.

• Providing a challenging and varied curriculum which celebrates success.

• Encouraging confidence through responsibility and setting clear boundaries and expectations which are applied fairly and consistently.

• Providing learning experiences that enable cultural and environmental awareness and nurture an open mind.
