Out Vision for our Children at 7

At 7, children are happy, they know themselves and are thrive in their own skin, whilst also wanting to become better, every day. They are aware of their emotions and how these need to be managed so that they are ready to learn, grow and develop, to be the very best that they can be. Children will use their manners consistently, they make others feel welcome and accepted – they demonstrate kindness and care for each other and the world around them. They maintain eye contact when communicating with others and all children show a degree of confidence. They will follow the rules, even when no one is watching and encourage others to do the same. Children take responsible risks and are honest and trustworthy – fairness is important to them but they understand some people may need different things at different times. They make sure others are included, they make friends for life and are willing to take turns and share. They are aware of their rights and will use their voice, to be heard, and are respectful with this (at times they may be persistent but this is encouraged).  They are aware of how adults in their lives keep them safe and begin to make safe and responsible choices to keep their mind and body healthy. Children may get into conflict but use taught social phrases and with support, they attempt to repair their own relationships. They celebrate others and talk with a degree of maturity about differing views and beliefs. They begin to  develop a sense of agency, asking for help when needed, or choosing to do something independently, when they can. They have high aspirations and can talk about what they may wish to do in the future. Collectively, as a cohort of children, there are multiple examples of how they have made a positive difference to their community. As a result of all the above they have  character that is worthy of being shared with others and they achieve to their full potential.

Our Vision for our Children at 25

By the age of 25, our children will have found their place in the world and will be happy. They will have the tools to know how to maintain positive mental health and wellbeing. They will have built healthy relationships with others, that they maintain and know how to repair. They will have their own set of respectable values and they will make a positive difference in others’ lives, always showing kindness and respect. They are accountable for their actions. They will have strong communication skills and will be emotionally intelligent and articulate. They will take responsibility and be active citizens of the world, who strive to make a positive impact in society. They will do their jobs with purpose and pride and will want to ‘give back’. They will be pro inclusion and will work hard to promote inclusion on every level. They will stand up for social justice and help to make the invisible visible. They will build peace by challenging the status quo. They will become agents of their own learning, challenging themselves to be better and do better (personally and academically), and will be advocates for positive change. They will be fulfilled in life and will make the weather, inspiring and empowering others along the way – they will love with their whole heart, be able to forgive and will live their very best life.
