See Tomorrow Grow
I proudly set out below, the school’s new vision: See Tomorrow Grow. The journey into tomorrow, starts today. It is the journey of the child – which is at the heart of everything we do and say. With great fervor and ambition, as a staff, we have also worked on the rationale behind our curriculum, setting out our intent, how we plan to implement our engaging and ambitious curriculum, which will be relevant to our school and locality, making learning both meaningful and purposeful. My staff and I acknowledge, that we too are learners, as we embark on enhancing our teacher learning, to strengthen our teaching at Pippins, especially in light of the pandemic and teaching through a variety of platforms. We are now a thinking and reflective school.
