Building a Legacy

Andrews Memorial believes in the potential of every child; to create, to achieve, to celebrate; to make a difference.  We believe in blending and balancing the traditional elements of literacy and numeracy with a stimulating, up-to-date and challenging curriculum.  We recognise the potential for ICT to enhance learning across the curriculum.

We aim to ensure that we provide a welcoming, caring and happy learning environment, in and beyond the classroom; also that we deliver learning that is valued by the whole school community and which develops an understanding and an appreciation of the world around us.

Ultimately, we hope to nurture well-rounded young people, who can engage with each other and with adults; who respect everyone and who have a sense of moral responsibility.

We believe it is our duty to:

  • Enthuse and enable pupils to reach their full potential by developing independence, self-discipline, self-confidence and self-esteem
  • Create a positive atmosphere of encouragement and high expectations
  • Build and nurture relationships between home, school and the community
  • Provide a well-balanced, exciting and meaningful curriculum in a safe, caring and happy environment
  • Promote an ethos of engagement and achievement built on effort
  • Instil a sense of purpose in making a contribution to life in and beyond school

We aim to uphold the principles associated with Martin Seligman’s PERMA model of positive psychology, which provides us with a structure to support and develop wellbeing at the heart of our school community:

P – POSITIVITY E – ENGAGEMENT R – RELATIONSHIPS M – MEANING A – ACHIEVEMENT
