Vision Statements

[Guest]

I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to share their school's vision statement or share any good ones they know of. We're thinking of changing ours and it would be useful to have some inspiration! Thank you.

It depends whether you want a child-friendly one or adult one. If you look at school websites there are lots of examples there.

 

Here's a couple to start you off:

Thanks Kermit. You're really good at finding stuff, aren't you? I always think of you as the resident internet search expert ( ) and always like looking at the stuff you find! I take your point about whether it's a child-friendly or adult version that's wanted. I couldn't work out why I didn't much like any of the ones I've found on the internet today and after your comment I think it must be because the ones I've found are very wordy and quite pompous - obviously adult friendly!

I did, though, find a site that shows you how to go about creating a vision statement:

Thanks for your help.

Hi Moose, cant help much but perhaps you need to consider

 

Whats wrong with the one you have or why do you need to change it?

 

in order to formulate something better?

 

This should be a whole staff job though, shouldnt it?

Kermit21 - that website is really really useful, and has certainly got me thinking (not that I ever manage to stop thinking!!).

Our vision statement has been in place for a long time - prior to lots of members of staff starting at the school. It is rather wooly and wordy and doesn't reflect the quite profound changes we have made in the last two years. We're going to review our vision statement, as a staff, at our next Inset and thought it might be useful to have some existing ones to inspire us - not to copy I hasten to add!

'We aim to provide a happy, caring and stimulating environment in which everyone has the desire to succeed.'

 

That is our mission statement, written together as a staff and governors. At the same time as we wrote this on the same INSET day we wrote our school aims, we need to change these soon in view of every child matters.
