Ethos of our School

• We provide a secure, caring and stimulating environment in which all children are valued and respected.

• We encourage a love of learning in our children so that working either alone or in partnership with adults and their peers they are encouraged to have the confidence to take responsibility for their own learning and reach their full potential.
• We want our school to be health promoting and to set an example of good practice within the community.
• We encourage high moral standards and arouse spiritual awareness in all our pupils.
• We treasure our cultural diversity.
