Our Mission
Vision
To be the school of first choice for children in Blackpool, Wyre, the Fylde and throughout the greater Preston area.
Aims
1) Each pupil, parent and member of staff will be welcomed and valued as a full member of the Arnold community.
2) Arnold seeks to serve its pupils and parents, meeting their educational needs and involving all Arnold families in the life of the school.
3) Arnold pupils will be responsible, articulate, courteous, compassionate young people of integrity, able and willing to contribute to, and lead in, our future society.
4) Each Arnold pupil will be guided and supported throughout their time in school by the highest standards of pastoral care.
5) Arnold pupils will be inspired by consistently high quality teaching to have a personal love of learning, and will achieve their full academic potential.
6) Arnold pupils will experience a balanced academic curriculum and a rich extra-curricular programme, which together promote spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development, thereby preparing pupils for the opportunities, uncertainties and responsibilities of adult life.
7) Arnold pupils, parents and staff will benefit from integrated systems of information and communication technology, which will contribute to the organisational, communicative and pedagogical efficiency of the school.
8) Arnold will have a strong and caring professional culture, which sets high expectations for staff and supports their individual professional development and needs with appropriate guidance, resources and facilities.
9) The Arnold organisation will operate as a team with clear leadership and governance, where each adult and pupil recognises their individual contribution and responsibility, where successful achievements are acknowledged and rewarded, and where actions are accountable.
10) The leadership and governance of Arnold will ensure that the school operates efficiently as a viable and marketable business within the UCST group and the local community context.
The above stated aims are specific to Arnold, while also being fully compatible with the stated aims and ethos of the UCST group (Ref: UCST Group Policies).
