Our School Ethos – Our School Vision
Our aim is to engage our children in an exciting and motivating curriculum that provides the experiences they need to develop skills, concepts and knowledge. A global perspective throughout the curriculum will empower them for their lives today and in the future. Our needs -based curriculum is designed to provide memorable learning experiences that build on the characteristics of effective learning.
Underpinned by our school values, we provide a wide range of opportunities to enrich learning, both during the school day and beyond. Whether our children join the school with English as their home language, or whether they learn the English language for the first time, we ensure they are all provided with the teaching and nurture they need. Our aim is to help all children to become independent, resilient learners who relish new experiences and challenges.
We value the diversity of our school community and, while we celebrate and welcome difference, we also provide support for families through our extended school provision, ESOL classes, parenting classes and workshops.
We know we have succeeded when children leave the school with the skills and confidence to reflect, make decisions, and continue on their journey of lifelong learning.
