Our Vision & Aims

Our Ethos

Children are at the centre of all that we do.

• We will be a happy, secure & stimulating environment where children are motivated to learn;
• We will be fully inclusive with regards to Special Educational Need, disability, gender, sexuality, religion social or cultural differences;
• We will promote excellent attendance and behaviour in order to ensure high levels of achievement;

​​​​​Our School Values

The ethos of our school is built upon the foundations of our core values. We believe that if we behave according to these values our school will be a good place to work and play for everyone. Our values form our Pupil CHARTER and underpin our pupil code of conduct.

By following these we help to create the best learning environment, where we can build relationships and friendships and be happy!
