GLOBAL PATHWAYS ACTION PLAN
          2019/20
Intent
Laycock Primary School has just re-launched a new vision and set of values:

The heart and soul of Laycock school is kindness and unity.
We are friendly and welcoming school with a strong community spirit which reflects our inclusive ethos and belief that every child can thrive and achieve their goals in life.
We aim to educate the next generation of independent thinkers through an engaging and creative curriculum which embeds key skills in English, Mathematics, Science and PSHE
through experiential enquiry based learning.
Our values are at the core of everything we do.

Through designing a bespoke curriculum, we aim to embed Global Learning into everything we do; from lessons, to trips, to assemblies; to community work.
The curriculum will celebrate all 17 Global Goals and facilitate lessons and projects to learn about the importance and impact that we have in society.
The adults in our school will be engaged through developing their knowledge and skills about such issues, launch long-term initiatives and share successes with partner
schools and our community.
The children will be empowered to lead on their learning through an enquiry approach- ultimately, we hope that classes and individuals will be enthused, engaged,
communicate and take action!
The school, with the full support of our governors, aim to create a sustainable school helping to positively contribute to the wider global sustainable goals; ensure our children
and parents receive excellent, up to date education; and develop a sustainable business model through nurturing partnerships over time.
My priorities
Curriculum mapping- plan over a period of a half term, identifying opportunities to embed the Global Goals.
Whole school- ‘walking walk’ –sustainable maintenance and running goal, laminated things, cardboard cups, councils etc
PSHE- core subjects
Accreditations and Promotion- International school award and Rights Respecting Schools to engage with global goals
