At John Emmerson Batty Primary School, our vision is simple:
Achieve • Believe • Challenge
They capture what we want for every child and help shape the way we learn, behave and work together as a school community.
ACHIEVE
Be the best you can be.
We want every child to achieve and make progress from their individual starting points. We have high expectation and provide a broad, ambitious and engaging curriculum that gives children the knowledge, skjills and experiences they need to succeed.
We recognise and celebrate achievement in all its forms and encourage every child to take pride in what they accomplish.
BELIEVE
Believe in yourself and each other.
We want our children to develop confidence in themselves, recognise their own strengths and know that they are valued.
Our school should be a place where everyone feels safe, included and respected. Through positive relationships between children, staff, families and our wider community, we create an environment in which children feel that they belong and can flourish.
CHALLENGE
Be brave, keep going and aim high.
We want children to embrace challenge rather than be afraid of it.
We encourage curiosity, independence and resilience, supporting children to persevere when things are difficult, learn from mistakes and have the confidence to try something new.
We challenge ourselves as adults too, continually looking at how we can improve the education, experiences and opportunities we provide for our children.
