Parkgate Junior School Vision 2019
Fri 10 May 2019On Saturday, the Governing Body got together and looked at all the personal visions every member of the school community had created on their flags and cookies. From that, we have pulled together a new vision, written in child friendly language.
Parkgate Juniors is special because we all have something amazing to contribute to the Parkgate family.
We learn together
We help each other
We respect each other
We try hard every day to become the best we can be.
We also looked at our strapline and decided to use the original School motto, which we discovered in the log book.
Not for self, but for all.
