Vision Statement:

‘Going for Gold’

Mission Statement:

Working together to provide a secure, happy and stimulating learning environment where each child can develop to his/her full potential.

At Gilbert Heathcote our school aims are for our children:-

• To be happy and safe and healthy
• To have respect for one another and the environment
• To develop their social skills by listening carefully and working together
• To do their best and experience success
• To become lifelong learners

At Gilbert Heathcote we also encourage our children to make the right behaviour choices and work hard to meet all of the criteria of our ‘Golden Rules’:-

• We listen to people, we don’t interrupt
• We are gentle, we don't hurt others
• We are honest; we don’t cover up the truth
• We are kind and helpful; we don't hurt anybody's feelings
• We try to work hard, we don’t waste time
• We look after our property, we don’t waste or damage things

Within each year group, as Children demonstrate consistency in meeting these Golden Rules, they become a ‘Golden Child’ and are rewarded within our ‘Golden Assembly’s’ with the Golden Child Badge which depicts the colour of their class.
