“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I learn, involve me and I remember.”
At Morville CE Primary School we have a clear understanding of how children learn and continually strive to provide the best possible conditions to facilitate this. We acknowledge that we live in a changing world and that we need to prepare our children for tomorrow’s needs. Consequently, we not only place fundamental value on the traditional 3Rs, but also on the 3Rs of the 21st century:
• Resourceful (the ability to organise one’s own learning),
• Reflective (the ability to think about and evaluate one’s own learning) and
• Resilient (the ability to try several strategies and skills in order to succeed).
We acknowledge the importance of developing a caring and stimulating environment, where children’s high self-esteem enables them to take risks in learning and to learn confidently through their mistakes. We teach children that getting ‘stuck’ is not a sign of failure, developing strategies for independence. We encourage children to ask questions and for them to learn how to solve challenges and problems.
We make it our business to strive for excellence, empowering children to be happy and responsive. Children are challenged within the delivery of an enriched, creative and linked curriculum. We are an inclusive school that develops independence, responsibility, kindness and good manners through a detailed and extensive personal, social and health education programme, with a strong connection with our local church and community.
We look forward to welcoming you to Morville CE Primary School.
