Our shared School Vision at Yardley Wood Community Primary School is: To provide a safe, welcoming and dynamic school community, built on positive relationships, where the value and potential of everyone is recognised and where the opportunities to explore, develop and un-lock these are not missed.
We have a shared vision for our school where everyone is valued, everyone is a learner and everyone is a teacher, in a place of safety where every person wants and provides the best for others and where we are building the skills, attributes and character for a future yet unknown. We value everyone as an individual and seek to develop their capability, confidence and self-esteem. We value and welcome all, irrespective of gender, race, beliefs, social background or abilities we don't tolerate we celebrate.
Nobody is an outsider. We value honesty, integrity, truthfulness and compassion. We value courage, resilience and the empowerment of others. We value personal endeavour and success and we value the power of teamwork. We value positive behaviour and we value reflection, forgiveness and restorative behaviour when people make mistakes. We value good manners, kind words and positive action.
