Standards and Quality Report 2002-03
Ethos
To ensure
a positive and supportive school ethos
by stimulating in our pupils an awareness of their responsibilities, to
develop a sense of identity and pride in the environment, history,
language, culture and future development of their school and island
home, and to widen their horizons by encouraging understanding of the
wider world. We will also promote effective links with Lionel
School Board, Lionel School Parent Teacher Association, Lionel School
Pupil Council and the wider community

1 |
| 5.1 |
Climate and
relationships |
Parents, pupils and staff generally identify
with the school, and are pleased to be associated with it. The
reception of parents and visitors is welcoming and well organised.
There are effective arrangements for consulting with pupils and
involving them appropriately in decision making about the life and
work of the school. Staff handle any attendance and
discipline problems in a caring but authoritative manner so that
disruption to learning and teaching is minimised. |

|
| 5.2 |
Expectations and
promoting achievement |
Staff expectations of pupils’
achievement, attendance and behaviour are high, and pupils
generally respond very positively to these aspects. The
school values, recognises and shares relevant achievements with
peers, parents, families and the community. |

|
|
| 5.3 |
Equality and fairness |
Equality of opportunity and a sense
of fairness is evident throughout the school. We try to
ensure that all pupils, parents and school staff are treated with
respect, fairly and in a just manner. It is intended that
staff, pupils and visitors to the school should feel valued, safe
and secure. |

Partnership with the
School Board and the community |
Parents support, and participate in,
the life of the school in a planned and purposeful manner. They
are actively encouraged to be partners in homework, participate in
out-of-school visits, and support other extra-curricular
activities. The Head Teacher has well-developed links with
the School Board, and actively encourages Board members to be
knowledgeable about, and involved in, the life of the school and
its community.
The school makes a strong contribution to the
life of the community and works with it by, for example,
participating in events and contributing to the local media.
Through the Parent Teacher Association, the school mounts a range
of fund-raising and other events for the community. |

Partnership with the
School Board and the community |
We are awaiting the
result of a European funding application to HISTP as the final
part of a funding jigsaw to build a £2million sports centre
adjacent to the school, with subsequent action dependent upon the
HISPT response |
