and
is
now
split
over
two
buildings,
Marnic
House

School
Ethos:
Learning
For
Life
At
The
Pointer
School
we
want
all
children
to
leave
with
excellent
academic
results,
a
place
at
a
great
secondary
school,
and
as
enthusiastic
confident
individuals
who
will
go
on
to
become
happy
and
productive
members
of
their
community.
To
realise
this
vision
The
Pointer
School
will
provide:
AÂ high
quality
Christian
education which
instills
in
children
the
natural
values
of
integrity,
friendship
and
respect
for
others;
AÂ family
atmosphere which
will
enable
children
to
develop
a
strong
sense
of
self-worth
and
achieve
much
more
than
he
or
she
may
have
believed
possible;
A
broad
programme
of extracurricular
activities to
discover
and
nurture
childrenâs
unique
talents
so
that
all
pupils
may
experience
the
pleasure
of
success;
AÂ traditional
yet
exciting
curriculum to
educate
the
whole
child
and
ensure
that
each
childâs
crucial
first
steps
in
the
world
of
education
draw
them
into
the
magical
world
of
life-long
learning;
AÂ positive
environment where
staff
members
have
high
expectations
of
children,
enabling
them
to
achieve
their
full
potential
academically,
as
well
as
developing
exceptional
manners,
a
caring
attitude
and
excellent
behaviour.
The
Pointer
School
Child
The
schoolâs
ethos
is
best
seen
in
our
three
aims
for
our
pupils.
We
believe
these
aims
to
be
essential
to
achieve
happiness,
contentment
and
excellence
in
the
wider
world.
It
is
hoped
that
children
in
our
school
will
be:
Well educated with
a
love
of
learning,
ready
to
engage
with
their
community;
Happy and
self-confident
with
a
good
sense
of
humour;
Generous
in
spirit,
kind
to
others,
aware
of
othersâ
feelings
and
with
a
deep
understanding
of
the
Christian
faith.
We
expect
all
our
pupils
to
live
by
our
school
rules,
known
as The
Pointer
School
Way.
