Vision Statement

Northbourne promotes active and creative learning for all, based on Christian values, embracing technological advances to prepare children to be tomorrow’s global citizens. We promote high achievement and learning for life by working with children to

• develop enquiring minds and a spirit of curiosity,
• become highly motivated life-long learners, developing high esteem and self confidence,
• achieve high standards in all areas of the curriculum,
• be polite, show respect and be trustworthy,
• extend themselves spiritually, intellectually and physically.

We believe that each child will succeed through experiencing quality in

• a broad and challenging curriculum together with an enriching programme of extra-curricular activities and visits,
• a stimulating learning environment with a rich, varied and up to date range of learning resources,
• an ethos of support, challenge and encouragement to succeed,
• a learning partnership between school, home and community.

We show our commitment to working as a learning community by

• striving for continuous improvement in all that we do,
• working collaboratively towards common goals,
• valuing and using each other’s talents and skill.
