Mission Statement

Our Mission Statement

Tobermore Primary School is a place where everyone is valued and cared for as an individual and where children are at the centre of all we do. We endeavour to provide a caring and trusting atmosphere, in which children and teachers can work happily together. We allow the uniqueness in each individual to flourish through a happy, safe and stimulating environment where everyone can meet their personal goals and full potential: intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally, morally and spiritually. We believe that parents, staff, pupils, governors and members of the local community need to work together and co-operate with each other in an atmosphere of mutual respect and support, for the benefit of all. Our school motto, ‘Together We Learn, Together We Achieve’ promotes this.

We aim:

To create a happy, healthy school in which everyone feels valued.
To provide a caring, secure and stimulating environment in which to educate each child intellectually, spiritually, socially, emotionally, morally and physically, so that he/she can reach their full potential, moving on to the next stage of their education with confidence and high self-esteem, and being prepared for their adult role in society.
To ensure that all teaching is of a high standard, enabling children to maximise their potential in all subjects.
To provide an inclusive curriculum, which is broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated to each child’s needs.
To provide equality of opportunity for all children, regardless of age, gender, race, creed, culture, physical disability or special educational need.
To have expectations of high standards of both achievement and behaviour.
To encourage children to be self-motivated and develop a positive attitude towards learning so that they can respond to challenges, develop lively, enquiring minds and apply themselves to tasks with self-discipline and an increasing sense of responsibility for their own actions.
To foster an ethos in which children co-operate with each other, develop an understanding of right and wrong, and feel and show respect and tolerance towards others.
To foster in children a sense of responsibility and caring for the school environment and to become aware of the global community and of how wider environmental issues may involve them.
To involve parents in their children’s education and encourage strong links between home and school.
