At Victoria School we recognise that our Vision and Values support the personal development of all our pupils from 2 to 11 years old which underpins their Educational journey as they move through each key-stage. We aim to promote high achievement and life-long learning for all.
To know our children well enough to provide individual opportunities to develop an enquiring mind, a positive attitude and a mastery of skills in order for them to achieve their full potential. Develop and promote a sense of self-worth and a positive image in order to make informed choices that will strengthen their aspiration to be the best that they can be.
Challenge all pupils to achieve high standards becoming LITERATE, NUMERATE, confident independent and collaborative learners through an ACTIVE, HEALTHY, CREATIVE, TECHNOLOGICAL, GLOBAL, BOLD and RELEVANT CURRICULUM.
