Our Vision
Ethos and Values
Our vision for the school is expressed in our motto, Learn to Live, Live to Learn: we strive both to provide children with the skills they will need to thrive and prosper in the 21st century, and to instil in them a love of learning itself. The school empowers children to achieve these aims within a safe, supportive and caring community of learners, in which mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities and respect for all is actively developed. Enjoyable, challenging and memorable learning experiences are provided, our intention being that all children will enjoy school, become enthusiastic and independent learners, and achieve to the best of their ability. The school views the nurturing of its pupils, the citizens of the future, as both a privilege and a responsibility.

- Provide a safe, secure, supportive and happy environment.

- Support children to understand their work, ensuring that they are appropriately challenged by it.
