OUR VISION

 

Central to Nook Lane’s vision, is a commitment to creating a warm, welcoming and inclusive ethos, where pupils’ social, emotional and spiritual needs are seen as integral to their development. We cultivate positive attitudes including determination, perseverance and resilience, challenging and supporting all children to be the best learners that they can be.

 

We ignite children’s curiosity and creativity, encouraging a passion for life-long learning.

 

We nurture this passion by providing a rich, well-sequenced curriculum that values pupil voice, extends pupils’ learning and deepens their knowledge, enabling children to thrive academically.

 

We ensure children understand the importance of physical and mental well-being and provide a range of experiences for pupils to develop a healthy body and mind.

 

Working closely together with parents, families and the local and wider community, we foster attitudes, which enable all children to become responsible and caring global citizens prepared for the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow.
