Values and Visions
Our Vision for every child:
‘Growing as we learn, Learning as we grow’
Our Vision for our School:
Pinner Wood’s vision is to be an exceptional school. We strive to be at the heart of our community, delivering a high-quality, knowledge rich curriculum for all our children.
We are committed to providing an all-round education. We aim to inspire children’s minds (with a love of learning and academic knowledge), hearts (enhancing their well-being and character education) and hands (developing problem solving, critical thinking and practical skills). We encourage children to think and ‘dream big’, to become life-long learners, ready to impact and make a positive contribution to our world.
We endeavor, as a whole school community, to instill a love of learning and a thirst for curiosity in our children, both in and out of the classroom, harnessing a variety of teaching techniques and approaches to stimulate, develop and nurture inquisitive minds.
We pledge to provide our children with a wealth of opportunities and unforgettable experiences throughout their journey with us to inspire and challenge. We encourage everyone to ‘step up’, take responsibility for their development and contribute to the community in which they belong.
Everyone at Pinner Wood embraces individualism and diversity, celebrates differences and shows respect, kindness, care and compassion for all.
A Pinner Wood learner will grow in confidence. Their curiosity and resilience will blossom, readying them for the next stage of their educational journey. They will develop lifelong transferable skills, important values and qualities in order to live a happy and fulfilling life.

How does it work?
Every half term we will work on a different value. Your child can complete some, all or additional activities (thought up by themselves) to meet the value.
At the end of the half term the teacher will decide if your child has demonstrated the value. If they have, they will receive a sticker towards their passport.
If they don’t meet the value there will be a chance to catch up later in the year.
The idea is for every child to complete the values passport by the end of the year.
If your child completes activities at home to meet the value – please post onto Seesaw so we can share with the class.
