We acknowledge the Anglican traditions of our school and encourage all children in the exploration of faith. Everyone in our school community deserves to be cared for unconditionally and valued as a unique creation, made in the image of God.
We have high expectations of all our children. We develop our children to be happy, well-rounded individuals who have a love of learning through which they achieve and progress to the best of their ability.
We want our pupils to enter the wider world as:
happy and positive individuals
responsible citizens able to make a positive contribution
adaptable in an ever changing technological world
life long, safe and healthy learners
We value parents’ influence and contributions, our links with the local community and the wider world, encouraging a holistic approach to education.
We encourage our pupils to have respect for themselves and each other; we want them to develop confidence, resilience and pride in their achievements.
