About

Our School Our Mission, Vision and Values Our Mission, Vision and Values Our Mission Being the best I can be. We want our children to feel determined to achieve their goals and dreams and have the resilience to overcome obstacles and challenges that stand in the way. Mutual respect for all is at the heart of Vale View.

We value diversity and show kindness and consideration to each other. We contribute positively to our community and take responsibility for ourselves, our actions and our behaviour. We promote positivity and enthusiasm throughout the school community and support children to be resilient and maintain a positive attitude.

An important skill for life, we all learn and achieve more when working successfully as a team. Children across the school have worked with our school council members, Mrs Abbott and Mrs Sprigmore, to produce our Values Characteristics document.

Children in every year group talked about how they can explicitly demonstrate our values at each stage of their primary school experience. Our children had fantastic ideas and suggestions. Please find a downloadable version of the school values below!

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
