Ethos and Values

Promote excellence, equality and high expectations for everyone.

Foster continuous improvement and never be complacent.

Provide a curriculum that is creative, stimulating and challenging, with opportunities in sports and the arts, through which children will experience discovery and success.

Provide challenge and support at all levels.

Develop enquiring minds with the ability to question, think rationally and independently creating self-motivated thinkers.

Establish learning environments which are enabling and value children’s effort and achievement.

Enable children to be safe and adopt healthy life styles so they become emotionally and physically healthy.

Enable children to take responsibility for their own learning, to use and apply their developing skills and to work collaboratively.

Enable children to set themselves high standards, to take pride in their learning and strive to make improvements.
