Ethos and Values

OUR ETHOS AND VISION

We aim to provide a warm, caring and safe environment, where all children and staff are equally valued and happy and where all children are taught to be literate and numerate.

 

We aim to create a climate which actively encourages children to develop social, moral, spiritual and cultural awareness, and a sense of personal responsibility to allow them to become thoughtful citizens of our national and global communities.

 

We aim to develop the whole child so that they leave our school as confident, independent learners, emotionally intelligent and creative, critical thinkers.

 

We encourage high quality work by having high expectations and try to instil a positive work ethic and a respect for truth which will prepare our children for adult life.

 We value our partnership between home and school and the wider community.
