School Development Plan 2020-2021

Vision

“Developing curious children who are prepared for lifelong learning”

Aims

At Muriel Green Nursery School and Day Care we aim for all children to be:

Secure, safe and happy in their relationships and the environment

Interested, excited and motivated to learn so that they achieve their full potential

Independent learners, proud of their achievements and confident in their own abilities

Confident speakers and listeners that express their own needs and opinions and reflect on and understand those of others

Curious independent thinkers that investigate, experiment and ask questions

Priorities

Quality of education:

Personal Development:

Equip children with the language of feelings to enable the development of their secure emotional literacy and understanding. So that they can learn to keep themselves mentally healthy and resilient supporting their next steps in their education.

Leadership and Management:

Establish a culture of professional learning whereby staff and leaders of all levels act as researchers to embed change.

Ultimately, school is fun for everyone

Parents, governors and the wider school community are fully involved and participate in school life

Reduced workload for staff at all levels
