Glendermott Primary School, 50 Ardmore Rd, Derry

Our Mission Statement

“Believe, Achieve, Together”

In Glendermott our mission is to work together to provide the highest quality learning and teaching in a happy, safe and secure environment in which the children are central to all of our work.

Believe

Central to the development of every member of the school community is the belief that they are a valued, unique individual with the ability to be the very best version of themselves in order to achieve their full potential. In Glendermott we see the development of pupil confidence and self-belief as central to all areas of achievement and that through this belief in themselves, every child, and adult has the potential to achieve to their fullest.

We believe in ourselves and in each other. We strive to develop strong, trusting relationships, supporting our pupils and each other in all our endeavours. This belief in the uniqueness of each individual is underpinned by our Catholic faith.

Achieve

All achievements are valued and acknowledged and children are encouraged to discuss their own achievements and those of their peers.

As a school we believe that everyone can succeed at something and we value the differences in our talents and contributions. We celebrate and reward the work of the children not just by outcome but by effort and dedication to the task. Children are encouraged to succeed at their level and to acknowledge that achievement comes in many forms.

We see co-operation between pupils and staff as central to learning and we believe that every child has the potential to achieve.

Together

In Glendermott we believe that our goals are best achieved by working together as a school with parents, the parish and the community.

As parents are the primary educator for their children we seek to forge open relationships with parents to encourage strong links with the school to benefit the work of the children.

We believe that every child in Glendermott is an important person, created by God and entrusted to us by their parents and we endeavour by word and action to help our children experience the Christian way of life.
