Our Vision & Values
Our Vision
Growing Together, Soaring High
At Grange Infant School, we believe that every child should feel happy, safe, and inspired to learn. Our curriculum is built around our school vision: Growing Together, Soaring High, and is designed to help children grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
At our school, we believe every child flourishes when we support each other. We nurture kindness, curiosity, and respect so that each child can achieve their best. Together, we build a strong community where everyone learns, grows and soars.
We follow three simple rules that help create a calm and caring environment:
|
Ready |
 |
|
Respectful |
 |
|
Safe |
 |
Our school values are at the heart of everything we do. We encourage children to:
-
Find happiness in learning and friendships.
-
Show perseverance when things get tough.
-
Offer and seek support from others.
-
Build resilience to bounce back from challenges.
-
Be honest and trustworthy.
-
Work together in collaboration to achieve shared goals
During their time at Grange, pupils have the opportunity to be nominated by staff to receive a badge that represents one of our six core values. These badges celebrate and recognise children who consistently demonstrate these values in their learning and behaviour.
British Values
At Grange Infant School, we actively promote British values through our school vision, ethos, agreed rules, curriculum, and teaching. As such, we promote tolerance of, and respect for, people of all faiths (or those with no faith), cultures, and lifestyles.
We prepare children and young people positively for life in modern Britain by supporting them through our words, actions, and influence, not just within school, but also within the wider community.
Promoting Our Values
The government defines British values as:
- Democracy.
- Rule of law.
- Individual liberty.
- Mutual respect.
- Tolerance of those of different faiths.
At Grange Infant School, we value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of all pupils and families and undertake a variety of events and lessons to celebrate these. We have found this approach to be enriching for all parties as it teaches tolerance and respect for the differences in our community and the wider world. Underpinning all of this is a range of curriculum topics that have strong links to the British Empire. We actively challenge children, staff, and parents expressing opinions contrary to fundamental British values, including ‘extremist’ views.
As part of The White Horse Federation, we passionately believe that by working together, the children are able to have a higher quality of education, and that as colleagues, we will also benefit from and reap the rewards of a values-based organisation where no one is left behind.
