Vision & Values

Our school provides a stimulating, challenging and caring environment with a broad, balanced and creative curriculum allowing everyone to develop to their full potential and be able to engage with a rapidly changing society.

A happy place where expectations are high, individuals are valued, a wide range of educational opportunities are available to all, and positive partnership between child, parent, school and community is paramount.

Encouraging high standards of behaviour and achievement by giving every learner the confidence that they can succeed.

Recognising the need to develop a healthy lifestyle, where children are encouraged to make informed choices.

Developing personal, spiritual and moral values with respect for other races, religions and cultures. Enabling children to understand the world in which they live and the interdependence of individuals, groups and nations- developing successful citizens for the future.

With an ethos of mutual respect and co-operation, whilst developing the capacity to become independent learners.

Ensuring all staff are valued as committed and caring professionals within a reflective and developing team.

T – Together

E – Everyone

A – Achieves
