our aims

OUR AIMS

At Kippax Greenfield we believe in a strong community, partnerships between parents and the local community, a sense of lifelong personal and academic development and a commitment to excellence. The school will continue to grow and change but we will always remain true to our vision.

Have Fun:
Our school days should be filled with joy, enquiry, excitement and fun. We should create vibrant memories for our learners to carry with them for life. We must ensure that we promote an environment of mutual respect and of humour. An environment that stimulates and excites, a school where we are confident to smile knowing that we will overcome our challenges and positively address our mistakes, recognising these as opportunities to learn further, a school confident enough to laugh together, a school that our community is proud to call it's own.

Be Happy:
Happiness and confidence that you can achieve and that you're going to enjoy almost every minute of school life makes the pathway of learning an ultimately rewarding experience. What a fantastic adventure we're going to undertake together. It is our responsibility to ensure that every child at Greenfield believes that they have the ability to learn and the self assurance to solve problems and overcome difficulties. We must inspire and enthral, jump on the questions and thinking of our young learners so that they keep the power and mystery of thinking and discovery. Children develop a desire to learn that is borne out of the magic of exploring, learning in a brilliant and stimulating environment. Learning must be relevant, applicable to the 21st Century so that children see a reason for new skills and knowledge. They should be positively encouraged to celebrate the feeling of achievement gained from the new doors they can open, challenges that are overcome and proud of a job well done. More importantly, we want them to be proud of the people that they become.

Be Good:
Learning and maturing, blossoming and developing should be a life long journey of exploration and discovery of new experiences and opportunities. Children's experiences should be full of 'wow' moments combined with strong self discipline and responsibility, ensuring that we can excite and stimulate our pupils while remaining organised and disciplined. We offer them challenges and support, allowing them to learn from their mistakes whilst ensuring good self esteem and show them how to create their own future affirmations. Our lives should be lived in a secure and nurturing environment. We should feel valued and value others no matter what their background, appearance or disability. We should celebrate the past, live for the present and look forward to the future. At Greenfield we look to lead children with the skills that they will need in preparation for their own journey through life.
