Our Vision and Values

Our Vision

‘Nurturing Curious Minds’

Meadowbrook is a diverse, nurturing and aspirational school family.

We believe that all children can achieve excellence and that a quality primary education enables pupils to believe in themselves, achieve beyond their expectations and develop the skills needed to succeed and enjoy life.

At Meadowbrook we believe that learners’ spiritual, emotional and cultural, health and well-being are as important as their academic achievements. We pride ourselves on the wide range of curriculum opportunities and approaches that we employ in order to ensure we NUTURE our children's CURIOUS MINDS.

Our Purpose and Aims

On our journey to ‘Stand Out’ we aspire to be:

• Recognised as a centre of excellence and nurture for our learners
• Independent, strongly led and self-improving
• An integral part of our local community and valued as such
• Team players, working collaboratively with other schools in the Trust and beyond
• Successful at engaging with parents and carers to support learner progress, well-being and achievement
• Providing enriching opportunities for our pupils beyond their own school, through collaboration

We aim to develop our Core Values, to promote respect and the skills for life-long learning.

Our Core Values

At Meadowbrook we believe the most effective way to support our learners is to develop in them a love of learning and a deep understanding of how they learn. We use our Learning Leaves to help us be the best we can be!

Resilience		We show 'Mighty Oak' resilience by taking risks in our learning, knowing that we learn from mistakes.
Integrity		We do the right thing, even when no one is watching, and show our roots just like the 'Queen' of British trees, the 'Honourable Beech'.
Inclusive		By ensuring everybody in our school feels comfortable and confident to be themselves, we demonstrate the ' Inclusive Ash'.
Nurture		We demonstrate empathy, kindness and protectiveness using our 'Loving Lime' and its heart-shaped leaves.
Honesty		By being truthful and sincere no matter what, we demonstrate the loyal 'Sweet Chestnut'.
Aspiration		We aim high in all we do like the 'Legendary Sycamore', believed to have been introduced to Britain by the Romans. Its leaf has five lobes like a five-point star.

In order to develop our pupils’ understanding of these specific values and skills required to be successful learners, we focus on one learning leaf each term (‘Value of the Term’). All worship/assemblies centre round this value each term, including our whole school Celebration Assemblies and end of term Learning Champion Celebrations.
