Captain Webb is a community primary school with 40 staff and 382 children. We have an on site nursery, an after school club, a breakfast club and an on site charitable Daycare provision for 2 and 3 year olds. We have a community building and are active within local community initiativesOur vision is to educate our children for a changing world by opening the door to an inspirational learning journey! The school views itself as agent for change and responsible for broadening the attitudes of both its staff and pupils in a global context. All staff at the school view any learning experience as a shared and reciprocal one, purposefully benefiting all concerned. School leaders are keen to substantiate and further their knowledge of successful and recognised systems. Strategically our school culture embraces sharing of good practice and synthesises the vision of the Erasmus + programme in order to enhance the principles of unity and dialogue across the education community. Therefore are main objectives for the project are:* To further develop and enhance whole school policy and pedagogical approaches by integrating philosophy and practice gleaned from research carried out in Finland* To encourage the use of action research and small scale projects in the field of SEN and apply and share the learning via local and international networks* To increase on a large scale the quality and quantity of creative and autonomous learning in the Early Years, and forge sustainable links amongst colleagues locally and beyond.* To enhance the use of IT in the classroom, with tangible and published outcomes for staff and pupils, along with inter- European professional network groups.* To further develop an innovative approach to global education building on solid foundations within the school and add another dimension in terms of staff specialismTo achieve our objective the school has identified key structured training courses in Finland, Italy Iceland and Spain twhich will be attended by 10 staff from a range of areas and contexts.All staff will actively contribute to the project and will bring together more and less experienced staff who will add a unique value to the implementation of the project. We have selected them based on a number of identified areas: role in our team, experience, benefit to their professional development, their willingness to innovate and ability to lead cpd.
