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.
