Our Vision

At Foundry Lane we are passionate about learning.  Our school is proud to be at the centre of our local community. We build collaborative relationships both  locally and globally to develop crucial life skills and responsibilities that will equip children for the future.  We believe that education should take place in a fully inclusive environment with equity for all where everyone feels a strong sense of belonging.  

Our world is constantly and often rapidly changing and we want our children to continue to thrive as they grow.  We encourage our children to be excited about the world around us and the impact they can have in it.  By developing their   resilience through learning, we want our children to be able to apply this to all aspects of their lives so they feel supported to adapt to future challenges they will face.  Our learners will also be resilient to change and will learn to be kind to themselves and value and nurture their mental health and well-being.  We equip all children to become healthy  and economically self-sufficient individuals.  

 

Our School Values were designed by Staff, Children, Parents and Governors to reflect the personal and learning attributes we wish for our children to acquire.  

• Community and Kindness

All members of the school community will treat others with kindness and learn to value difference and celebrate diversity through acceptance and understanding.  We will all act as role-models, embodying our school values.  Everyone will work together to create a safe, kind and caring environment.  Learners will leave Foundry Lane with the courage and conviction to challenge injustice respectfully and make a positive difference to the world in which they live.

 

• Resilience and Independence

We will support learners to be self-motivated and ambitious, embracing each new day as an opportunity to succeed.  We will develop resilience and help all children see struggle and mistakes as a natural part of becoming a more effective learner. Children feel empowered to be independent and step back, reflect and make mindful decisions to enable them to become willing partners in their own learning.

 

• Creative and Critical Thinking

Our creative and engaging curriculum provides learners with the opportunities to question, analyse and problem solve.  We encourage all children to set aspirational goals and work hard to reach them. We enable children to be inquisitive learners who are encouraged to shine by asking relevant and useful questions and seeking out well-reasoned answers.  Our curriculum is designed to provide children with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed to maximise their cognitive development and to develop the whole child and their individual talents.
