**Welcome to the St. Mary's Inglewood 'Whole School Review' for 2011** This wiki is designed for us to keep all our information, reflections and thoughts in one spot.

Please feel free to add any information or insights about improving our school to this wiki.

All our reflections should be in light of our Vision Statement, a copy of which is included below.

**__ St Mary’s Primary School Vision Statement __** We believe that St. Mary’s School is a welcoming, caring and forgiving environment where:

{a} We teach the Catholic faith and the gospel values through action, attitude in our daily lives and through relationships with others.

{b} Enlivened by faith, we promote dignity and a sense of self-worth and uniqueness amongst all individuals,

 {c} We foster a partnership of shared responsibility between children, family, staff, parish and community,

{d} Children are given equal opportunities to develop a love of learning through a well-balanced experiential curriculum which encourages the child to develop a positive self-image and become active, independent learners who are challenged to reach their full potential.

{e} Children learn to respect, tolerate, and co-operate with others of different gender, creed, ability, culture and background.

{f} Teachers are encouraged to keep up to date with new methods and current thinking which enable children to learn through a variety of teaching approaches and strategies.
