Aston Rowant Vision Evening

1. Aston Rowant C of E Primary School
Vision Evening
Monday October 10th 2016

3. Creating a shared a vision for
Aston Rowant C of E School
We are always reviewing what we are doing
and looking critically at our own practice and
the needs of the children. The direction for
the future is ambitious, challenging and
ongoing. It is shaped by an informed
awareness of current educational thinking
and involves recurring reflection and debate
among our children, parents, staff and
partners, and analysis of where the school, is
at.

5. The Nature of the Vision
It's about having the vision and
innovative ideas, imagination and
a 'have a go at everything'
attitude - and that rubs off on
the children.

7. Strategy
We ask ourselves the searching
questions. That implies a commitment
to scrutinising practice and exploring
ways of effecting
improvements. Class teaching has to
be a main focus of our school
improvement plan…. That is important
to us.
