Our vision for Tonnau Primary Community School
Our children will develop a positive attitude to learning by taking part in an experience based curriculum, with the community of Tonna at the heart of it. We nurture self-discipline and resilience so that our children can work independently as well as in co-operation with others in an inclusive environment. We aim to create a happy, safe and challenging environment where our children can grow in caring surroundings, learning respect and compassion for other people and their community and the wider world. We pride ourselves on being part of ‘Team Tonnau’, never forgetting our core values.
This will enable our pupils to say-
I feel safe, respected and valued in school. I’m happy when my pages show what I really can do and I’m pleased for my friends when they are proud of their work too.
I do my best in class and try to learn something new every day. I use language and number to answer questions and I often use digital technologies in a safe and sensible way to help me.
I know the things I learn can help me solve problems in all sorts of different places, and I can use my skills by myself or as part of a group.
I can talk about where I live, what makes it special and how it’s part of my country and the world. I know what happened here in the past and I can talk about how we can all try and keep our community safe, fair and eco-friendly for the future.
I can find ways to keep myself healthy and I know how to keep my mind and body active and busy.
I may not get all this right every time – but I know I can always ask for help and learn from my mistakes.
I know my school wants me to be Conscientious, Considerate, Confident, Contemplative, Curious, Courageous, Creative and a Contributor.
As a school, we are working hard to make sure our pupils make clear progress through our curriculum to achieve this vision. In order to support clear progression, our curriculum will support our pupils to work with –
- Increasing effectiveness as a learner
- Increasing breadth and depth of knowledge
- A deepening understanding of the ideas and disciplines within Areas
- Refinement and growing sophistication in the use and application of skills
- The ability to make connections and transfer learning into new contexts
These five principles will inform our improvement plans, training opportunities and partner working for the coming terms.
