Our Approach

OUR VISION - WHAT WE WANT

To provide all children with a place to find wonder and joy in learning.

OUR MISSION - HOW WE ACHIEVE OUR VISION

We’re a family of learners. We create an encouraging and loving place where everyone, both kids and grown- ups, has every opportunity to be the best they can be.

Our Values

We really care

Treating everyone well is at the heart of what we do. Children learn best when they are in a place where they feel seen, heard and cared for. We find joy in seeing children thrive.

We’re a family

We’re a small school with a big heart. Our Olderfleet family is open to everyone, and every member of our school is valued. We are supportive, and we work together for the good of everyone.

We say ‘Why not?’

We aren’t afraid to try new things, to innovate and lead the way in doing better. We anchor our approach in research and experience. Try something new...”Why not?”.

We aim high

We don’t want our kids or team to ever settle and coast. We encourage our children to set their own goals, reflect on their learning and take risks. We don’t want any child to think learning is either effortless or impossible.

We know our impact

As educators we always keep an eye on our impact to ensure our school family has the best outcomes. As a community, we want our kids and grown-ups to take a moment to consider the impact of our words and actions.

We’re switched on

We are committed to being attuned to the unique needs of every child, in every class, every day. Life is ever changing and we understand that means we need to meet children where they’re at in the moment.
