The ethos of our school is to inspire success in all our pupils, to develop their personal skills and give them a curriculum which is stimulating and engaging.

Vision and Values

TO INSPIRE SUCCESS

“You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.”
Clay P. Bedford

We provide a safe, caring, nurturing and stimulating environment for all pupils. Through this we will be supporting and challenging them to achieve their full potential through equal access to an appropriate, exciting, and interesting curriculum which is adapted to meet every child’s need. This will equip them with the enthusiasm, skills, and knowledge to be lifelong learners.  Children will have success today and be prepared for tomorrow.

Our Vision:

To inspire every child to be a happy, confident, enthusiastic, and curious learner and provide them with a curriculum with topics which allow them to learn and discover the world around them. We believe these will provide all our children with every possibility of a bright future. Our school is a place where every child is valued, every day by everyone.

This vision demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that every child is enabled, every day to achieve their best; to grow and develop both academically, socially, and emotionally to access the wonderful opportunities and possibilities in their next stage of education, higher education and adult life.

We want our children to leave us as confident individuals, ready for the next stage of their education, inspired by the opportunities that their adult life will bring. This is why our curriculum is designed to create opportunities that remove barriers, and open children’s eyes to the possibilities beyond their primary education that are within our local community and beyond.
