Settle Primary School is committed to promoting and demonstrating a global learning dimension in all its various activities and endeavours that constitute “the school” to ensure that all pupils are encouraged to -
- be independent thinkers who question before making judgements;
- be active and caring members of society;
- be equipped to make sound decisions and solve problems;
- consistently and regularly be aware of and sensitive to the global dimension in their studies and school activities;
- show concern for the local and worldwide environment and issues and how and where they are linked;
- recognise and respect the diverse and different needs of people throughout the world, while acknowledging the similarities we all share despite social and resource inequalities.
This vision statement is supported and celebrated by all who form part of the learning environment of the school. Global education is an ethos: it runs through all the curriculum areas, and through wider school life. Hence it is a curriculum dimension, an educational philosophy and a way of life! It pervades everything - informing, enhancing and challenging all that is done in school.
