Our Vision and Values
Our vision at Griffin Primary School is to create a warm, supportive, nurturing, secure and happy learning environment where everyone feels valued and are encouraged to recognise and achieve their full potential.
At Griffin Primary School we have 8 core values which we want all pupils to master by the time they leave the school at the end of Year 6. All staff model, praise successes, support and give feedback to help children work towards the next step in each of the 8 values. The 8 values are:
- Independence
- Teamwork
- Communication
- Responsibility
- Resilience
- Co-operation
- Respect
- Enthusiasm
Our ambitions for all pupils are:
“Pupils are happy and enjoy their learning. There are strong relationships between staff and pupils.”
“Leaders, including trustees, have established a culture of high expectation… This has led to the school being a calm place where pupils focus on their learning.”
“Through their focus on personal development, leaders support pupils to be confident, resilient and independent.”
“Leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum… As a result of this well-planned and well-taught curriculum, pupils achieve well.”
“Leaders have ensured that reading is high priority. Pupils talk about a range of different books and authors that they enjoy reading.”
“Leaders have high expectations of pupils. Staff share a determination to help children succeed.”
“Trustees know the school well… They use this information to hold leaders to account effectively.”
“Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported in mathematics… As a result, pupils achieve well in mathematics.”
“Staff say they are proud to work in the school… ‘There is a lot of staff buy-in and a real team ethos.’”
“Children settle quickly in the early years. Staff rightly focus on developing children’s vocabulary and communication skills.”
“Pupils told inspectors that bullying is rare. Pupils behave well at social times and enjoy playing games together.”
“Behaviour in school is good… This has helped to create a settled and industrious feeling in classrooms.”
