Looking to the future, or at least thinking about it, is a necessary part of any school’s development. A school’s vision statement is an important part of this; it is about setting out the school’s long-term goals and objectives.
A school’s vision statement can be very important to help identify the school’s purpose, mission and strategy. It also helps to define the school’s identity and mission and create a sense of community and ownership within the school.
There are a few things to consider when creating a school’s vision statement.
First, the statement must be based on the school’s current reality and the challenges it faces.
Second, the statement must be achievable. It should be clear and concise and includes a set of achievable goals. The goals should be specific and achievable within the time frame that is set for the statement to be effective.
Third, the statement should be relevant to the school’s population. It has to be written in a way that is clear and easy to understand and reflects the school’s values and mission.
Finally, the statement should be timeless. It should be designed to be relevant to the school’s current students, staff and community and achievable within the time span set.
