Colden’s Vision
A group of children, parents, Governors and Staff all came together to think about our aims and aspirations for our school – those who work and learn in it. We considered how the world is changing so fast that many of the jobs our children will go on to have, do not even exist at the moment. So what skills, knowledge and attitudes did we want our children to develop in order for them to be happy, healthy and successful in the twenty first century? After much discussion, we arrived at the following seven Vision statements:-
1. At Colden School, children will enjoy and care for their environment.
2. Children will develop the ability to express themselves and communicate with others
effectively.
3. Children will develop empathy and good personal relationships with others
4. Children will become confident, optimistic, ambitions, and resilient in order that they can make
a positive contribution to both the local and global community.
5. Children will gain a life-long love of learning and the skills to crucially evaluate information.
6. Children will learn to use technology safely and sensibly to prepare them to contribute to and
shape a changing world.
7. Children will be healthy, happy and achieve their full potential.
