Our Mission Statement

“To go further than we thought
To run faster than we hoped
To reach higher than we dreamed
To become the best we are able to be.”

At Helmshore School we aim, in partnership with parents and guardians, to provide a high quality learning environment to help all children realise their full potential, intellectually, physically and socially. Our specific aims are to help children to:

• to enjoy learning and to become more independent, self-disciplined and selfmotivated and to achieve the highest standards of which they are capable;
• to develop lively, enquiring, imaginative and creative minds, the confidence to question and the ability to argue rationally;
• to acquire the knowledge, skills and relevant training to prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life;
• to develop, recognise and value a sense of right and wrong and to understand the society in which they live and recognise their obligations towards it;
• to experience a rich, broad and balanced curriculum, matched to individual need and enhanced by a wealth of high quality first hand learning experiences;
• to develop spiritually, morally and socially and to gain an understanding of other beliefs and cultures;

………..whatever their age, ability, background, gender or special needs.
