The nature of the vision

The focus of this movie is the nature of the vision. It highlights some of the key features of excellent practice in schools including: enabling all children and young people to develop relevant capacities and attitudes; setting a direction which promotes high aspirations and a 'can-do' attitude; creating the conditions where creativity and innovation flourish; promoting fairness, justice, equality of opportunity and equal access; establishing a focus on learning and relationships; putting values into action; and focusing on improvement and raising achievement.

'It's about having the vision and innovative ideas, imagination and a 'have a go at everything' attitude - and that rubs off on the children.'  Headteacher
