School Vision
Vision Statement
"Living and learning together within a Culture of Gentleness"
Requires each of us to be mindful that:
The central purpose of our presence in the lives of others is to:
- Nurture
- Teach
- Sustain
The experience of:
- Connectedness
- Companionship (what it is like to be and have a friend)
- Community of contribution
Through the principles that make every one of us feel:
- Safe
- Loved unconditionally
- Loving towards others
- Engaged meaningfully in life
We express these principles using:
- Words that are kind, uplifting, encouraging and loving
- Eyes that are warm and smiling
- Touch that is gentle and respectful
- Presence that is attentive and responsive to the person
And by reflecting upon our relationships in the context of how we have planned:
- The environment
- The organisation of life
- How information is understood and acted on
- The dialogue (listening, interpreting and adjusting)
The Culture of Gentleness can be supported by:
- Keeping our young people at the centre of everything we do
- Working harmoniously together so we can realise the goal of giving each young person a real life
- Fostering a sense of community within Bradstow
