Last week some of the school governors were tasked with conducting an audit  of the school vision:-
‘Developing  confident, happy self motivated learners who enjoy learning and see it as a  lifelong adventure’
We were pleasantly surprised as to how  much evidence there was to select from across  the school.  We witnessed some excellent learning from all year groups and  some inspiring ways of how childrens successes are celebrated and shared.   The most impressive was the motivational and aspiring language that is  consistently used within school to inspire children to enjoy their  learning.  There was a wealth of information on display within school of  community links and support for worthwhile causes together with celebrations of  pupils achievements.  It is perhaps not until you know what you are looking  for that you really see the detail of what’s in front of you.  I have  walked through school on many occasions and failed to notice much of what was  seen during the audit.  The exercise was to help school staff see with a  ‘fresh pair of eyes’ what they too can often take for granted because they know  it so well.  The findings and suggestions will be shared at the governing  body however, given the amount of positive evidence that was collected I wanted  to share with you the knowledge that the vision was clearly seen throughout the  visit.
