In Braniel Primary School we are committed to:

Creating a happy, positive climate where everyone feels valued and encouraged;
Facilitating effective learning and teaching;
Promoting learning for all the pupils;
Enhancing the pupils' self-esteem and fostering self-respect and respect for others;
Having the endorsement and active support of parents.

We aim to secure an environment in which pupils can learn, and achieve their full potential, through effective teaching and learning.  The considerations and needs of the child is paramount within the school community and we are committed to ensuring a safe, harmonious environment in which the child is supported physically, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually and socially.  Our aim is to ensure that parents, pupils, teachers and support staff have ownership and responsibility for the positive ethos created within our environment, whilst recognising that they have a vital role to play in maintaining it.  We aim to establish an environment where the worth and value of each child is respected, children learn mutual self-respect, have a sense of belonging, and where children are equipped for today and empowered for tomorrow.
