HOLLAND HAVEN VISION STATEMENT
Our vision at Holland Haven is to be a safe, nurturing and inspiring community where staff and all pupils have ambitious aspirations and are empowered and encouraged to achieve them. We strive for an ethos of respect, resilience and ambition. We hope that our children will inherit a thirst for lifelong learning and be proud of their own and others’ achievements. We will continue to work together to create an environment where we are happy, enjoy learning, discover new talents and develop new skills through our inspiring curriculum. We will support children to build and maintain strong relationships so that they can collaborate towards shared goals in an inclusive environment
When our pupils move on from Holland Haven, we hope that the secure foundations we have instilled in them will enable them to navigate through their young adult lives with healthy physical and mental wellbeing. We hope that they will become creative, resilient and responsible citizens of their community and world, who have strong moral values and a global conscience.
