School Annual Education Results Report Worsley Central School School Mission Statement: 'Working, Caring, Succeeding' School Vision Statement: 'Worsley School is a positive learning community in which students, teachers and parents care about the learning of all students'. Values: - We value effort. - We value respect for others, self and property. - We value success. - We value a safe and positive learning environment. Over the past few years, our teachers have met many times to discuss ways in which we can improve success for our students. A common theme emerging from these discussions has been attitude; we feel that we need to instill certain values in our students early, so that when they reach the upper grades in high school they will work to their best ability.      In particular: We see the need to encourage and reward effort, both in our weaker students and in our strong ones. We recognize that some students in senior high school have adopted the attitude that 'just enough work to get by' is good enough. We have seen this manifested in incomplete or unattempted homework, failure to study for tests and exams, and a poor attitude towards education in general. With small classes, attitudes like this in some students (particularly if they are popular) can have a negative effect on the others, making it difficult for students who want to succeed to the best of their abilities to do so, lest they 'stand out'. We recognize that students are not always supportive of each other, especially in the classroom, and most especially in grades 7 through 12. Our goal is to create a positive learning environment where students value effort, and support each other as they achieve success. We want to see our school as a place where students:       - stay on task       - respect the rights of others to learn in a quiet and supportive atmosphere       - strive to achieve the best results of which they are capable       - value success, in themselves and others See past results and our current school improvement plans by following the links below: 2005-2006 2006-2007 2007-2008 2008-2009   Worsley School HTML & design by © 1996 - Wunderland Website Design
