School Ethos and Values

We believe…

Our school is a stimulating and welcoming community in which all children and adults feel valued, able to contribute and where relationships are based on mutual respect.
Children are active participants in the learning process and are provided with experiences that maximise their involvement, autonomy and independence.
We are an inclusive community where pupils are offered opportunities to grow together, learn together, laugh together and celebrate together.
We equip our children with the skills they need to be happy and successful in life, nurturing in them a true and life-long love of learning.
We are responsible for the development of the whole child. We recognise differing needs and endeavour to meet these needs, maximising the opportunities for children to explore their physical, social, emotional and intellectual potential.
We are a community that respects and celebrates diversity.

Promoting British Values

At our school, we ‘actively promote’ the fundamental British values of:

Democracy
The rule of law
Individual Liberty
Mutual Respect
Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
