Vision and Values
Our Vision
At Shacklewell Primary School and across the wider New Wave Federation our vision is ‘Excellence for All.’ Every child, regardless of their background, has the right to the best educational provision and support to achieve and succeed.
We are determined to overcome barriers of discrimination and disadvantage where they impact on success and life chances. We want all our children to be successful, strive for the highest standards, and to recognise the importance of kindness and respect for others.
We want to help children shine in our schools, to be great learners, and to have a positive attitude towards school life. We endeavour to reflect the schools diversity and build recognition of differences in the spirit of tolerance and cooperation.
In our vision, we commit to promoting equality, freedom and fairness, whilst challenging any social, sexual or racial discrimination with a zero-tolerance approach.
