Vision and Values

VISION STATEMENT

Our Vision is for Benson Community School to be:

A school where we celebrate diversity and individual identity.

A school that is truly inclusive.

A school with a hallmark of great teaching

 

Our vision is to be a school where we celebrate diversity and individual identity: Where everyone who enters our doors feels safe, secure and at home. Where everyone has a voice and knows it will be heard. Where everyone recognises their own potential and the potential of others. Where we promote a sense of pride, recognition and respect for our diverse and shared heritage- when we know where we’ve come from, we know where we’re going!

 

Our vision is to be a school that is truly inclusive: Where children learn the skills they really need and great emphasis is placed on meeting the needs of all regardless of their starting points. Where resilience and self-regulation go hand in hand with academic progress. Where we acknowledge the challenges and difficulties some members of our school community face but we never give up on our children and families – Once a Benson Bee always a Benson Bee!

 

Our vision is to be a school with a hallmark of great teaching: Where great teaching and learning happens every day and a wide range of experiences help all children grow into rounded, responsible members of society with valuable skills to offer. Where we instil an enthusiasm and a love of learning and provide a broad, balanced and enriched curriculum that inspires and challenges our children, setting them up to be remarkable adults. Where everyone knows ‘there are no limits to what you can achieve’.

 

Our vision is summed up in our 4 core values – our 4 Benson Be’s
