Ethos
In an atmosphere that is both supportive and challenging, children develop a strong love of learning, an ability to think independently, critically and creatively and to solve problems confidently.
Children also develop positive relationships and friendships, practice healthy living, learn to treat others with respect, to work effectively in teams and to act responsibly towards their local community and wider society.
Arising out of this safe and stimulating atmosphere, our core values have developed:
Our vision of the school is of a nurturing community where children are inspired and encouraged to become confident, capable, caring and compassionate citizens of the future.
