Our Vision & Ethos
Nature, Nurture, Flourish and Fly
At Seething and Mundham Primary School, we nurture every child through rich experiences in nature, strong relationships, and high expectations, enabling them to flourish as confident learners and ultimately fly—academically, socially, and emotionally—into their future lives.
Nature
Nature is a vital aspect of life at Seething and Mundham. Not only do we have the benefit of having a beautiful natural environment, but we learn in nature. We use our outdoor environment to compliment our curriculum. Learning practically outdoors is not only fun and memorable but it gives us the chance to apply our learning in out of context ways – this deepens and extends our learning.
Nurture
At Seething and Mundham the development of the whole child is vital. One day the children of our school could be our doctors, nurses, scientists, teachers and bankers. It is therefore imperative that the children learn how to communicate, be empathetic, have a sense of understanding of people, places and culture. We, as educators, know the importance of engendering this nurturing attitude for a bright future for our children.
Flourish
At Seething and Mundham, we encourage the development of learning behaviours and the understanding of our core values to ensure we are ready to meet the challenges of life which come our way and we are equipped with the skills to succeed. In this way, our children will flourish as individuals and learners.
Fly
Ultimately, we want the children of Seething and Mundham Primary school to succeed, but not just at national expectations and to the outline of the national curriculum but beyond that. We want our children to strive to fulfil their potential in every way, and this looks different for each child.
School Ethos
At our school, we know that every child has the right to feel safe, valued, respected and happy. We are a community where everyone belongs, everyone matters and everyone has an important role to play.
We live by our five core values -
* Respect * Resilience * Honesty * Empathy * Tolerance *
These values guide the way we learn, play, communicate and care for each other.
- Respect means valuing ourselves, others and the world around us.
- Resilience helps us to face challenges, learn from mistakes and keep trying.
- Honesty means being truthful, trustworthy and taking responsibility for our actions.
- Empathy means listening, caring and trying to understand how others may be feeling.
- Tolerance means accepting and celebrating differences, recognising that everyone is unique.
Our children love to come to school each day. We know that regular attendance is vital for children to build strong learning habits and make the most of every opportunity to grow and succeed. Being in school every day helps children feel part of our caring community where they can learn, build friendships, develop confidence and take part in the life of our school.
By living our values, we create an environment where children feel safe, included and confident to be themselves. We encourage every children to take an active and meaningful role in our school community, to support others and to make a positive difference. Our aim is for children to feel they belong and can thrive.
