Vision and Values

School Ethos, Vision and Values

Our school vision statement summarises what we want for each pupil during their time at Boughton Monchelsea. We believe that if children develop effective learning skills and attitudes during their primary education they will continue to learn and achieve throughout life. We encourage pupils to engage creatively and actively in their learning, as they build the resilience needed to achieve their goals. They reflect carefully as they learn and work together to solve problems and achieve excellence. We have a very caring and supportive school community, where the wellbeing of each individual is valued and everyone is encouraged to show respect for each other.

Our Values

Excellence	Respect
Determination	Responsibility

Our Vision

We aim to create a school community where everyone is committed to achieving excellence in a caring and inspirational learning environment. Pupils will grow in confidence and independence, building on their natural curiosity, creativity and enthusiasm for learning. They will develop empathy and respect for others, learning how they can make a difference as responsible citizens at local, national and global levels. They will acquire the skills and attitudes of lifelong learners, understanding that resilience and determination lead to success.
