At Godwin Junior School we firmly believe that Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. (Chinese proverb) Evidence shows that children who leave primary school having attained at least the national expectations in reading, writing and maths are far more likely to be successful at secondary school and beyond.
For us, that is why it is vital that we do everything that we possibly can to ensure that our pupils have solid educational foundations, the desire to learn and the self-confidence to know that they will continue to be successful.
Our Vision is apparent in everything that we do: within the priorities we set, our curriculum design and delivery, the opportunities we provide for our pupils, the way that members of our school community treat one another and the manner in which we celebrate successes. This Vision forms the spine on which the ethos of our school is built.
