School Community Ethos

Our school communities believe that we need to work in harmony so that our pupils can benefit from a relevant and current curriculum.

Our children have an entitlement to be healthy, safe, make a positive contribution, be economically aware, enjoy and achieve.

We jointly aim to develop pupils who are:

  • Motivated, secure, have good self esteem, respect themselves and others and are confident in taking appropriate risks;
  • Developing an awareness of how they learn and can apply their learning in a variety of contexts;
  • Broadening their knowledge and understanding of the world enabling respect for their own and other cultures;
  • Becoming independent learners;
  • Increasingly articulate and effective communicators.
