CREATION OF SCHOOL MISSION AND VISION

An Educational Leadership Philosophy for School Leaders (thoughtco.com)
A SCHOOL MISSION statement often includes their focus and commitment on a daily basis. A school
leader's mission should always be student-centered. They should always be focused on bettering the
students they serve. You want every activity that occurs in your building to revolve around what is best
for the students. If it is not beneficial for the students, then there is no reason that it should continue or
even begin to happen. Your mission is to create a society of learners where students are constantly
challenged by teachers as well as their peers. You also want teachers who accept a challenge to be the
best they can be on a daily basis. You want teachers to be facilitators of learning opportunities for
students. You want students to experience meaningful personal growth every day. You also want to
involve the community in the learning process, because there are many community resources that can
be utilized to promote growth throughout a school.
A SCHOOL VISION statement is an expression of where a school is going in the future. A school
leader must realize that it is typically best if vision is implemented in small steps. If you approach it as
one large step, then it will likely overwhelm and consume you as well as your faculty, staff, and
students. The first thing you have to do is to sell your vision to the teachers and the community and get
them to invest in it. Once they truly buy into your plan, then they can help you carry out the rest of the
vision. You want all stakeholders to be looking to the future while focusing on the now. As a school,
we want to set long-term goals that will ultimately make us better, while maintaining focus on the
current task at hand.
Aims and Values of Schools:
How schools demonstrate and uphold their aims and values

Aims in schools are set out to follow guidelines and attain what the schools desire to achieve. The schools strive to exceed
their personal objectives. The aims and objectives of the schools are set by the Head Teacher, working closely together
with, parents, staff, the community and sometimes the children of the schools. Although schools mostly share the same
aims and objectives, they may differ slightly as schools set out their own goals. It is important for schools to communicate
with others their aims and objectives as much as possible, as this gives parents and others the opportunity to gain an
impression of the schools in question. This can be done through school prospectuses, school website, and open
evenings/days. The schools can also demonstrate their aims by developing links with local communities where they work
to develop the aims to improve pupil’s education and environment. Looking at one school in particular, we can see how
they communicate and set their aims, and whether they do this successfully.
Aims 1: To maximise every child’s potential both educationally and socially:
The schools aim is to teach in a way that interests and motivates pupils and to ensure that all pupils achieve outstanding
academic results relative to their ability. The school regally tests the children’s level of abilities and offers extra tuition
when needed. This offers extra support on a ‘one to one’ tuition bases. The school also offers the following to maximize
every child’s potential:
* In year 6 all children will have in their own individual tutor. The tutor meets the child on a regular weekly basis and
discusses pastoral concerns as well as academic progress. Parents are welcome, therefore, to liaise with the tutor, who will
have a good knowledge and understanding of their child’s progress. * At the end of each term, parents are sent full
reports, including subject comments, as well as social involvement in the school. * Parents are also sent ‘marked reading
slips,’ during the term, which indicate attainment and effort grades, together with comments from the tutor. * Tests are
done internally through the school during various times through the school year. This allows for the teachers to monitor
the pupil’s academic abilities.
The school states that one of the features of the school ethos is that no two days are the same. They offer a wide range of
sports and lessons to improve the child’s overall experience. They keep the children busy and offer a fun environment for
learning. Sporting success is certainly a major part of life at the school in question, but they also realize that sport is about
giving an opportunity for the majority of the school to work in a team, and to give them a sense of pride in their own
performance.
