We purposefully intend to develop children who have embraced our core values of respect, responsibility, loyalty and honesty as we believe these are crucial to securing the appropriate development of personal and academic skills and abilities that will lead our children to become successful, contributing members of our society. An inclusive, happy, safe, nurturing and supportive environment which stimulates the children’s innate curiosity and sustains a permanent desire to learn. A flexible, imaginative, broad, balanced and relevant curriculum which fosters positive mental health, English, maths, science, computing and technology at its core and provides the children with the basic tools for living a successful life. High expectations of teaching and learning in all year groups, linked to year group end points, with a commitment to know more, remember more and apply more of the curriculum.
