Information Our Vision and Ethos Our Vision and Ethos Our vision is for all pupils at The Meadow to feel valued and respected and recognise the key part that they have to play in our school community. We want our pupils to leave The Meadow believing in themselves, striving for the best and being respectful and confident members of the wider world.
Through our Route to Resilience work, our aim is for all stakeholders to become the best version of themselves that they can be. We want everyone to recognise the good in themselves and how they can learn from others. We work on many R2R characteristics. We strive to be... Respectful - Being polite, listening and considering the views of others.
Treating everyone the same no matter who they are. Resilient - Not giving up, recovering from set-backs and trying our hardest at all times to do the best we can. Kind - Being kind and friendly to everyone. Treating people how we want to be treated. Trying to make people smile. A good team player - Being able to work with others, listening to different ideas and compromising.
Seeing the importance of being part of a team.
