At Longford Park School we aim to encourage children to develop intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally, creatively and morally. To achieve this we aim to:

Motivate children to:

• apply skills and knowledge to investigations and real life situations
• aspire to their highest potential
• have a high self esteem and achieve work of a high quality
• respect the school and other members of the community

Provide an environment which:

• has high expectations of work and behaviour and celebrates children's achievements
• is stimulating, challenging, happy and safe
• values co-operation and collaboration between staff, parents/carers and children
• promotes equality of opportunity, tolerance and respect for others
• recognises potential talents in all children and cultivates them
• welcomes children with Special Educational Needs and seeks to include them in the life of the school

Encourage children to:

• speak confidently, discuss, initiate, question and explore
• be independent
• be self motivated and develop a desire for learning
• have high self-esteem and be confident
• be open minded and sensitive to the feelings of others
• participate in activities within and outside the curriculum

The aims of the school underpin all that happens in school.
