We encourage a strong community spirit, where we show consideration and respect for each other; understand differences, and uphold kind, well mannered behaviour.

Our school value ‘Exceeding Expectations, Raising Aspirations’ embodies our whole school ethos. We want our children to have high aspirations and to believe in themselves. We will ensure that all our children learn effectively, not only so they achieve as well as they can right across the curriculum, but also so, they learn about themselves and others. We will do all we can to ensure our pupils are confident, aspirational, and empowered to participate successfully at an academic, social and emotional level in a rapidly changing world.

We value the partnership that exists between parents, children, staff and governors and strongly believe that by working together we ensure the children at our school experience the best possible start in life.
