At Highover, we are independent and confident learners. We rise to any challenge and never give up, even when it seems impossible. We work together as a team and look after one another, showing kindness and respect. We love learning creatively and we know we all learn in different ways.
We aim to work in partnership with parents and pupils in order to:- create a high quality learning environment which is happy, caring and stimulating allowing all children to thrive; realise each child's full potential by providing a wide range of learning opportunities for academic, social, emotional, moral, spiritual, cultural and physical development; provide a broad and balanced curriculum appropriate to the children's needs, and in accordance with the Early Learning Goals and the National Curriculum; raise self-esteem and confidence by helping each child to gain a sense of achievement and to take a pride in that achievement; develop high standards and quality work across the curriculum; develop self-discipline and mutual respect for all members of the school and the wider community; develop skills that the children will need in order to be active citizens and take their place in a multicultural society;
