Ethos & Values

"Inspire Beyond Measure"

Tenacity Scholarship Empathy Curiosity Happiness

Religious Education is important to support our children in their understanding and respect for all. Our intention is to support the pupils’ acquisition of the knowledge and understanding of the principal religions represented within the UK. We want them to develop the ability to make reasoned and informed judgements about religious and moral issues and enhance their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development; learning about other faiths and cultures to develop empathy and respect for the beliefs of others.

Head Teacher's Message

A warm welcome from Principal Mrs Jane Dawtry emphasising belief in every child’s potential, a safe, supportive environment, inclusive ethos and partnership with families.
