School Vision
Our view of the child:
At Castle Bromwich Infant and Nursery School we believe that each child is a unique individual who has the potential to grow and learn. We believe that children are active, curious, intelligent and full members of society and it is our role to provide them with a caring, secure environment which is also challenging and stimulating. Here they can learn and grow in body, mind and spirit. We also believe that everyone has the right to reach their full potential surrounded by people who believe in them and who recognise that there are no limits to what can be achieved.

Our Vision and Aims
At Castle Bromwich Infant and Nursery School we want all our children to feel safe, valued, happy, included and nurtured. Our aim is for all children to be the best that they can be, to be able to be independent critical thinkers who are inspired by their learning and experience success. We strive to achieve this vision by working closely with families, governors and the wider community.
Our staff and Governors, with the support of parents and families, will….
- Work in partnership with the local community and external agencies for the benefit of all our children
- Provide a curriculum that is relevant, memorable, relatable, motivating, and responsive to the needs of all children
- Deliver lessons that enable children to revisit key concepts and apply skills in a number of different ways across school, in order to support future learning
- Be committed and dedicated to inspiring young learners with high quality teaching and learning environments and a focus on extending vocabulary, developing communication, independence, resilience and other essential life skills
