Aims & Values of the School
- This will be an inclusive school where all will be treated equally and given equality of opportunity regardless of gender, special needs, disability or race.
- All will be treated as individuals and teaching and learning will be differentiated to take account of individual's needs.
- Teaching and learning will be matched to the appropriate stage of children’s physical, mental, social, spiritual, moral and cultural development needs.
- All will benefit from a rich, broad, balanced curriculum that will be presented in an interesting, exciting and imaginative manner with lots of opportunities for first-hand experience, practical work, and investigation. The curriculum will be enlivened and enriched by visits, visitors, and extensive use of the environment. The basics will be taught well and the creative aspects including art, poetry, story, dance, music, performance will be central to our work.
- All will have high expectations and set high standards for themselves and others. All will be treated fairly and listened to. All will have opportunities to take responsibility, build their self-esteem and develop their self-confidence.
- Success will be promoted and progress and achievement will be rewarded.
- Parents and the wider community will be seen to be equal partners with the school.
- This will be a welcoming, friendly, bright and lively, happy place where children feel secure where good behaviour is expected and where they have fun whilst achieving and where they enjoy growing up.
As a school we focus on six values that we want to instil in the children and have them demonstrate on a daily basis. These values are: Respect, Resilence, Responsibility, Community, Truthfulness and Enthusiasm. We believe these values important for our children to be both active learners and members of their wider communities.
