Our Woodfield Vision
Our School Vision
“Helping every star to shine”
Our vision is to support every child to shine and become compassionate, confident and resilient young learners. We aim to capture the imagination of every child by developing creative, challenging teaching and learning opportunities based around individual needs and interests. Children at Woodfield are encouraged to be proud of their achievements and, through our staff observations and interactions, be given opportunities to grow.
At Woodfield, our Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum is delivered by highly skilled qualified teachers and practitioners who are creative, reflective and have the highest expectations for all children to shine. We embrace our community and the need to develop cultural capital for our children. We explore our local area together and further afield as part of our curriculum offer. We want our children to become fluent speakers and we celebrate their bilingual skills. Through skilled questioning, we encourage our children to be curious and develop a respect for the natural world around them.
The learning environment at Woodfield plays a pivotal role in ensuring that our children experience a calm, safe space where they can shine. Our indoor environment, flooded with natural light, is well resourced with natural materials. We present the children with stimulating provocations alongside familiar continuous provision. Our outdoor area is spacious and provides opportunities for children to develop their language and cooperative play.
A strength of our school is the positive relationships we develop with our children and families. These relationships ensure that children feel safe and happy. All children are linked to a key worker and this relationship starts on their first day. Parents are welcomed into school often through parent workshops and key workers are always available during transition times where concerns or celebrations can be shared.
Our building is fully accessible, on one level with sloped entry, providing an inclusive learning environment for all. The strong relationships we develop with our families allow us to meet any individual needs a child might present. We endeavour to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that all children are able to shine in their own unique way.
