… the key to well-being in childhood and later life:
• Be healthy
• Stay safe
• Enjoy and achieve
• Make a positive contribution
• Achieve economic well-being
(Every Child Matters, September 2003)
At St Winifred’s School we provide an exciting and inclusive learning environment in which children develop the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy independent lives and become informed, active and responsible citizens. Our school ethos promotes health, well being, safety, security and values the contributions made by pupils, staff, parents, and others.
Pupils are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities and experiences across and beyond the curriculum, contributing fully to the life of their school and communities. In doing so they learn to recognize their own worth, work well with others and become increasingly responsible for their own learning. They reflect on their experiences and understand how they are developing personally and socially, tackling many of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up. They also find out about the main political and social institutions that affect their lives and about their responsibilities, rights and duties as individuals and members of communities. They learn to understand and respect our common humanity, diversity and differences so that they can go on to form the effective, fulfilling relationships that are an essential part of life and learning.
