Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.

Vision

Our Vision at Caldecott is 'Happy Learners, Aiming High'.

Our aims are to ensure that Caldecott Primary School promotes high achievement by working with children to:

• Develop their full potential academically, morally, spiritually and physically

We demonstrate our commitment to working as a learning community by:

• celebrating effort and welcoming everybody's contribution
• striving for constant improvement

Pastoral Care and Behaviour Management

We do expect a high standard of behaviour and politeness from all our children.  Behaviour Management is firm yet sympathetic.  We encourage children to have high self esteem, to respect others and their property and to take pride in their school and the community in which they live.

School rules are made to allow the children to work, learn and play happily together.  We are committed to promoting positive values and rewarding children who show they have thought carefully about our value of the month.  Parents, we hope, will play their part in supporting the school in these aims.

Our Behaviour and Management Policies are reviewed annually.  Parents are welcome to a copy.
