We believe that our school is welcoming safe and stimulating, promoting a love of learning and offering opportunities for all to succeed. As a Church school we see friendship, forgiveness, happiness, creativity, community and perseverance as being at the heart of what we do.
We aim to:
Ensure that each child is valued as a person who has an equal right to our care, time and professional attention as a reflection of God’s love for that child.
Foster each child’s intellectual, spiritual, physical, emotional, moral and social development.
Enable each child to understand and seek to value the Christian ideals of friendship, forgiveness, happiness, creativity, community and perseverance.
Help each child to develop the ability to learn and enjoy the challenge that often has to be met if a real sense of achievement is to be experienced.
Consistently demonstrate high standards in order to provide good role models for the children.
Help each child to realise their potential through the development of necessary skills, concepts and knowledge.
