Our vision is for Sandymount Park to be a school of teaching and learning excellence where students flourish; enabled to reach their full potential whilst becoming confident, considerate, active members of society.
We aim to create a vibrant and welcoming school community where every student feels they belong and has the opportunity to develop academically, socially, creatively and ethically. We want our students to understand their place in the world and recognise their capacity to make a positive difference.
We value students for who they are and place importance on hard work, participation, kindness and respect. We hold high expectations for learning and behaviour, while providing the challenge, support and encouragement students need to grow in confidence and make progress.
The student is at the centre of all that we do, with a focus on providing them with opportunities to develop their identities as individuals and as learners and to build strong bonds with others and the wider world. Students are encouraged to actively participate in all aspects of school life, fostering connectedness to the school environment, curriculum, policies and culture. We have the highest of expectations for students, they will be challenged and supported to continually advance their learning and development.
Essential to our vision is the importance and power of the student voice. Students feel involved and accepted for who they are and gain confidence from the fact that their opinions are sought and valued. Activating student voice has the power to enhance motivation, engagement, learning and wellbeing.
