Philosophy

We will play our part in preparing young people for their future and in raising achievment so that all can fulfil their potential. We will strive for spiritual, moral, mental, physical and social development. We will encourage children to value cultural diversity and combat racism. We will encouage good citizenship and promote greater understanding of the rights and responsibilities that underpin a democratic society. Our school will be a place where people feel safe, secure and valued. It will be a place of joy where individuals are offered a broad and challenging curriculum in which the social, imaginative and creative aspects are developed alongside the intellectual. Our curriculum will be rooted in first-hand experience and in teachers moving pupils from the known to the unknown. We will build on past experience and nurture a sense of wonder. Each child will be valued as a unique individual and must know what it is to succeed and so develop a sense of his or her own worth. Self-respect and respect for all life will be encouraged. Our school, which will be welcoming and attractive will be at the heart of our community with parents actively involved in their own children's education.
