School Ethos, Aims and Values

We believe:

• that children should be encouraged to do their best through learning opportunities appropriate to their physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs.
• that children and adults should work together to create a caring, safe, stimulating and attractive environment.
• in extending active links within the community through open, friendly and professional relationships with all partners.
• that education continues as the children enter the school gates and includes breaks, movement and behaviour around the school.
• in promoting the highest expectations for achievement through really effective teaching opportunities and challenges.
• in nurturing self-esteem and self-discipline within a broadly Christian framework of moral and ethical values in order to develop a sense of respect and responsibility towards others.
• in respecting children from differing cultures, backgrounds and educational needs as individual people.
• in providing a broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated curriculum to enable children to become independent learners.
• in maintaining close links and regular liaison with other local schools.
• in the Governors’ active and developing involvement in the life of the school.
