Vision and Values

Loxwood School Vision and Values

Our Vision

At Loxwood, we want every child to be curious, confident and excited to learn. We nurture a love of learning and encourage our children to develop the knowledge, skills and resilience they need to thrive in the world beyond Loxwood.

We are committed to creating a safe, happy and inclusive school community, where every child feels valued, respected and supported. We believe that kindness matters, and we encourage our children to show care, compassion and respect in all that they do.

Inclusion and equity are at the heart of our approach. We celebrate individuality, embrace difference and ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed and reach their full potential.

We want our children to flourish in every way. We promote positive physical and emotional health, helping children to understand themselves, build healthy relationships and develop the confidence and wellbeing to lead happy, fulfilling lives.

Our Values

At Loxwood, we believe that every child can learn, grow and achieve. We encourage our children, staff and governors to embrace a growth mindset, understanding that learning is a journey and that mistakes are an important part of becoming a better learner.

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried something new.”
— Albert Einstein

We encourage our children to be creative, curious and confident learners, giving them opportunities to explore their interests, discover their passions and develop a genuine love of learning.

We believe that learning should be exciting, purposeful and fun. As a teaching community, we have worked together to create a rich and engaging curriculum that inspires children, celebrates their individuality and provides every child with the opportunity to thrive.

Our Core Values

Our five core values underpin everything we do at Loxwood:

  • Kindness – We care for ourselves, others and our community.
  • Respect – We value ourselves, others and the world around us.
  • Independence – We take responsibility for our learning, choices and actions.
  • Resilience – We persevere, learn from challenges and keep trying.
  • Curiosity – We ask questions, explore ideas and develop a lifelong love of learning.

We celebrate these values throughout the year, recognising children who demonstrate them in their learning, relationships and everyday actions. Each Friday, our Celebration Assembly provides an opportunity for our whole school community to come together and celebrate the wonderful achievements and successes of our children.

 

Our families are an important part of the Loxwood community, and we are so grateful for their continued support. Here are some of the wonderful comments they have shared about our school.
 
"We just want to say that we could not have chosen a better school for our son. The way he has flourished and grown in his time at Loxwood has been amazing to witness and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the staff that have encouraged our son in his love for learning, indulged his curiosity for animals and guided him in important everyday values." 
 
"I just wanted to to say what a wonderful school Loxwood is. Both my children love coming to school every day, and this is because you have such a wonderful teaching and support staff. Thank you so much for the positivity you bring in engaging them in their learning and for all the enrichment activities, such as Free Write Friday and the celebration assemblies. My daughter loved the trip to the zoo and both of them have been excited about World Book Day. It is lovely to see them wanting to come to school and continuing their learning outside of the classroom."
 
"I just wanted to write to thank you all for the fabulous afternoon today. I just loved the really relaxed atmosphere and the way that every single child was included by supportive adults and older pupils. The year 6 pupils were so supportive and caring to the younger children and set such an excellent example. I am so pleased our granddaughter is a member of such a lovely caring community."
