Our School Vision

Our shared vision is to provide a happy and stimulating learning environment where children thrive and will recognise and achieve their full potential, so that they can become good citizens of the future.

....a friendly, caring place where children and adults feel they make a contribution and are valued as individuals.

...a safe place with good behaviour and values, where children learn respect for themselves and others.

...a place where children develop a love of learning inspired by quality teaching that builds upon strengths and talents.

... a partnership between children, parents, staff, governors, other schools and the community as a whole.

Our motto is:

Aim high and Smile

Values:

We are a happy and caring school where a love of learning is inspired in our children and every child is valued and respected and encouraged to be an independent learner. We have high expectations of positive behaviour and attitudes and our overall aim is for our children to develop a diverse cultural awareness and ultimately to become responsible citizens for the future.

To help them achieve this, we follow the Values programme. It is not a subject that is ‘taught’ but underpins all we do and is embedded in the curriculum and school life, actively promoting the fundamental British values of democracy, individual liberty, the rule of law and the mutual respect and tolerance of those from all faiths, backgrounds and cultures.  The ethos of our school is built on a foundation of 11 core values which are addressed directly through a rounded programme of lessons, assemblies and events which promote our children's spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, enabling them to develop their own moral and ethical compass to guide them through what is right and what is wrong.
