School Values
Roots and Wings
There are two gifts that we can give our children, one is roots, the other is wings…
At Goldfield, every child matters. Our aim is to provide a caring environment where each child is able:
To feel happy and secure; growing in self-belief and respect for each other
To develop a love of learning and reach their true potential
To learn in a caring, safe and inspiring environment where the children are at the centre of the curriculum
To participate in learning that is rich, creative and challenging, reflecting high expectations
To become a valued member of a nurturing school, that celebrates diversity and is committed to the wellbeing of its community
Ultimately to help our children develop as confident, resilient and considerate members of society – enabling them to ‘fly’.
Building Learning Power
Through our ‘Building Learning Power’ (BLP) initiative we aim to develop enthusiastic, confident lifelong learners; building a spirit of resilience and resourcefulness in our pupils.
The aim of BLP:
To systematically and demonstrably develop students as:
Confident and independent learners who are ready, willing and able to
Choose, design, research, pursue, troubleshoot and evaluate learning for themselves, alone or with friends, in school and out.
Goldfield's four Learning Superheroes - Polly Perseverance, Roger Resourcefulness, Chloe Cooperation and Ryan Reflectiveness support the development of rich learning vocabulary.
