Our Vision and Values
Within Stirchley Primary School, our vision is to:
- 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
- Be a positive member of their local and global community
- To be equipped with life skills in order to achieve ambitions and overcome challenges
We will achieve this vision by creating an ethos which promotes our ACORNS values. We want our pupils to be:
- Active Learners
- 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 represent the qualities we cherish. The oak tree stands tall, broad, sturdy and strong; it takes many years to grow and its stature is all the more incredible upon realising that it begins from a tiny acorn. The oak is resilient 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 every child needs to develop in order to become successful people.
