Ethos and Aims
At Airedale Juniors we believe that a positive, child-centred ethos is essential in creating a school that is able to reflect the values of our community and those of the wider society. We strongly believe that every young person, regardless of their background or ability, has the right to a high quality education through an ethos of achievement, enjoyment and compassion in a safe and caring environment, where everyone is valued. We aim to be a school that enables children to thrive and to reach their full potential ensuring they are fully equipped for the next steps within education and for adult life.
The opportunities we provide for children have these four broad aims:
- To develop successful learners who work hard, enjoy learning, persevere and make progress from their individual starting points in order to achieve their full potential and show their initiative.
- To strive for excellence and set the highest expectations for all members of the school community through nurturing our children’s interests and broadening their horizons.
- To create confident individuals who are able to communicate effectively and make decisions that enable them to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives, promoting positive mental health and well-being.
- To cultivate responsible citizens who have respect for themselves, their community and other people and can make a positive contribution to society and the wider world.
