Vision to Provision

The establishment of the Ardleigh Green Family Centre was birthed out of the vision of Ardleigh Green Junior Schol to be, An Adventure Park for the Mind. This vision soon became a reality, with the school being judged by OFSTED to be OUTSTANDING from 1999 to the present day.

“Imagine an Adventure Park for the mind that keeps on growing and improving. The park belongs to a community of people who are responsible, caring, considerate and committed to learning.
Notice how adults and children respect and value each other and how well they work together as a team. Notice how they relate positively with one another through their work, the problems they solve together and the hopes and dreams they have for the future. Marvel at the music, drama and artwork on display and be amazed at the talents of adults and children as they are encouraged to develop their abilities and achieve their personal best.
Feel the calm, purposeful atmosphere of the park and smile as you hear the children, happy and confident as they play, learn and achieve together. Notice the high expectations, the fun, laughter, the high standards of work and behaviour. Notice the awards received the special events and celebrations of achievement and the appreciation of visitors and the general public. Notice the infectious enthusiasm, dedication and commitment of adults and children who are proud to be associated with the Adventure Park.
This is Ardleigh Green School! An Adventure Park for the mind, with staff, children, parents and
governors, Working Together, Learning Together and Growing Together as lifelong learners. Admission is free, opening hours are 8.00am to 6.00 pm Mondays to Fridays, with special evening and weekend events throughout the year. Activities take place throughout term time but the lessons learnt, the friends made, and the memories created last a lifetime.

Change the word SCHOOL to FAMILY CENTRE and you will begin to uderstand the MISSION of the Ardleigh Green Family Centre. This vision was captured beautifully by the pupils who were inspired to compose their own school song. Sit back and enjoy! Click HERE
