Vision and Ethos

Swing Gate Infant School and Nursery promotes 'experiential learning' to develop happy, active and inspired children. 

We aim to:

• develop enquiring minds and a spirit of adventure
• create confident children that are happy to 'have a go' at new skills and experiences
• deepen knowledge and widen attitudes which will prepare children for future life in a changing and diverse world
• enable children to realise their potential across the curriculum
• create children that are eager to take part and reflect in their learning
  
• celebrate individual effort, talents and creativity
• foster an attitude of celebration and respect for all characteristics and beliefs of every individual
• promote behaviour that enables all children to achieve their potential and develop socially, academically, and personally within a positive and safe environment.

We achieve this by:

• instilling a spirit of adventure
• bringing learning to life in a deeper, more engaging and more active way
• investing in the wellbeing of the whole school community 
• investing time, money and energy into 'experiential learning' to create a lasting impact 
• creating a stimulating learning environment
• supporting children to succeed in a nurturing and caring way
• working in partnership with home and the wider community.
