Vision and Values

Our Mission

 

At St. Aidan’s, we believe that our role in education is to provide all children with the very best start in life to experience life in its fullness, regardless of background. Our main priority is to develop the full potential of each and every pupil in our academy.

 

Using the Thrive approach, we promote healthy emotional development in all pupils, to develop curious minds and confident, creative and capable children. 

 

In order to provide our children with a high quality education, we are committed to the impactful use of technology that goes beyond the National Curriculum. St. Aidan’s pupils develop critical, digital skills where the use of technology is maximised. Teaching and learning is transformed with Chromebooks where we have 1:1 devices for every pupil in key stage two. 

 

By the end of their time at St. Aidan’s we also expect all pupils to be effective communicators through a talk rich curriculum which extends beyond the classroom. At St Aidan’s oracy is a core skill and a natural part of our pedagogy and practice, where every voice is valued and children become confident and articulate communicators. Our children are empowered to use their voices to achieve their best as learners across a rich curriculum,  therefore improving their life chances.

 

Our mission is based on clearly established Christian values and principles- ALWAYS

 

Our Vision

 

At St. Aidan’s, not only do we want our children to become happy and well rounded individuals; we aim to nurture and equip children to be resilient, enthusiastic and effective communicators and learners who are able to use their experiences and technology skills to achieve their fullest potential allowing them to excel in the careers of the future and grow in God.
