Our Values 

Our vision for all of our children and their families is built on the following key principles:

Belonging: We encourage our children to treat one another with kindness and respect, fostering a culture of integrity and honesty. We believe that these values are essential for building strong relationships and a supportive community. Our school celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment where every child feels a sense of belonging. We embrace different cultures, perspectives, and experiences, recognising that they enrich our community and enhance the learning experience. We recognise the importance of collaboration, both within our school and with our wider community. We actively engage with parents, local organisations, and other stakeholders to create a rich network of support for our children.

Learning: We strive for excellence in all that we do, encouraging our children to set high aspirations for themselves. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to provide a broad and stimulating curriculum within a vibrant learning environment that challenges and inspires every learner to reach their goals. The experiences and opportunities we provide, excites and engages our learners to deepen their understanding and broaden their skills.

Wellbeing: At the heart of our school is a commitment to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and empowered. We enable this through our Nurture and Thrive Approaches and with the support of our Pupil Wellbeing Team. We believe that education is not just about academic achievement, but also about personal growth and character development.

Resilience: We instil a love of learning in our children, encouraging them to be curious, open-minded, and resilient. We believe that education is a lifelong journey, and we equip our children with the skills and mindset needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. We encourage and support children to embrace challenge and show perseverance when learning is tricky, allowing them to experience the wonderful feeling of eventual success! As we embark on this academic year together, I invite you to join us in upholding these values and contributing to our vibrant school community. Together, we can create an environment where every child can flourish and achieve their dreams.
