Welcome to Parklands Infant and Nursery School.

OUR VISION

At Parklands our aim is for all of our children to flourish as young learners and grow as confident individuals in a safe, secure learning environment. We believe that teaching should be matched to the needs of the learner. It is our aim that each child will develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, aesthetically, socially and spiritually, reaching their full potential. As a school we strive to ensure the best possible development of every child’s emotional health and wellbeing.

We are living in a rapidly changing, technological world with a global economy and shifting work patterns. Multi-cultural societies and evolving family structures are placing increasingly more complex demands on us all. We must provide an education that will enable every child to utilise a variety of skills and intelligences in order to meet these challenges with determination and confidence. We want our learners to grow as individuals and recognise the contribution they can make to society. We want our learners to take increasing responsibility for their own learning, make informed choices and solve problems. We are a school committed to promoting equality of opportunity and valuing diversity. We promote the fundamental British values of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.

At Parklands Infant and Nursery School, staff, governors and parents/carers work together to provide the best possible start to every child's school career and to lay firm foundations for all future learning. We aim to foster and develop a love of learning and thirst for knowledge. We aim to work as a partnership and link with the local and wider community.

Our aim is to create an inclusive community which provides the opportunity for each child to:

1. develop a love of learning with a lively, enquiring, independent mind
2. acquire necessary skills, knowledge and understanding to be successful in a changing world
3. develop self-respect, self-confidence and self-discipline to co-operate with others
4. develop tolerance, empathy, consideration and respect for others
5. develop an understanding and reasoned set of personal attitudes, values and beliefs about themselves and the world around them
6. show respect for the natural environment whilst embracing new technologies

Learning is a life long process and it is our responsibility as adults to model effective learning. This vision statement therefore applies to every single valued individual who has a role to play at our school. It is our belief that all of the pupils at Parklands Infant and Nursery School should be

Safe, Kind, Polite, Positive, Important, Respectful

Our Pupil Councillors chose these six words which they felt embody everything a Parklands Person is.

Our Parklands Person ethos, along with the fundamental British values are promoted  through spiritual, moral, social and cultural elements of school life and opportunities,  assemblies, the curriculum, displays and praise.

Our children know what makes a Parklands Person and that this is what we strive for.
