Our Vision and Values

• Enable each child to reach their academic potential and be equipped with the skills to be lifelong learners;
• Enable each child to develop into a resilient, well rounded, respectful individual

We will achieve this vision by creating an ethos which promotes our ACORNS values.  We want our pupils to be:

• Confident communicators
• Open-minded citizens
• Responsible for their conduct
• Nurturing towards others and themselves
• Successful  in their individual goals

   

The oak tree is our school symbol of choice.  We chose the oak as its properties best represented the qualities we cherish.  The oak tree stands tall, broad, sturdy and strong; it takes a long, long time to grow and its stature is all the more awesome on realising that its seed is a tiny acorn.  The oak is resilient, useful and stands strong due to the firm roots which hold it in place.  At Stirchley Primary School, we teach and demonstrate the core values that we believe everyone needs to develop in order to become successful people.
