Introduction |
| The Primary Strategy Vision has been
drawn up in collaboration with a group of
Headteachers, who have worked with The
Learning Trust to identify a framework for
schools and settings to work towards. |
| This is a key document for primary
schools and settings in Hackney and will
be used to support their improvement,
self-evaluation and the delivery of The
Learning Trust services. The purpose of
the document is to ensure high standards
and to actively promote collaboration and
networking across these institutions. It is intended to lay the foundations for all
schools and settings to deliver a quality
provision for all Hackney children. It is important to put this document in
context both locally and nationally.
Our vision for Hackney children is mirrored in this quote:
What I wish for my children, and indeed all children, is that they not only meet and if
possible surpass existing educational standards, but that they also find learning exciting,
compelling and intrinsically worthwhile. But not only in an academic sense, as vital as this is.
I want more than this for all of them. I wish them to appreciate the richness of their own
and each other’s cultures, to understand the importance of physical activity to health, and to
become competent and social beings who have sound, secure and healthy self-concepts to
help them face the challenges that await them in their lives.
