School Vision and Values

We are a big community but we are like a family and you are part of it. In our family, we all feel safe and loved. We look after everyone and children always come first.

Life can be difficult for some of our families but inside our school the sun always shines, the whole world awaits us and anything is possible. There are no limits to our expectations and nothing that is too much trouble. We treat each other with love and respect and we help and encourage everybody to be the very best they can be.

In our school, we have big dreams for our futures, we believe in ourselves, we learn from our mistakes and we achieve more together.

We want our children to be 'ready for the world': 

Global Citizens

We respect each other, ourselves and the world around us. We understand the feelings of others and seek to help by showing compassion and forgiveness. We do not merely tolerate difference and diversity, we actively celebrate the uniqueness of all individuals. We encourage all within our community to learn about and engage with our nation's democratic processes both locally and nationally to help to support, protect and sustain for the future the respect due to every citizen. We promote curiosity and respect as we learn about the diversity of beliefs and social backgrounds that make up modern Britain’s society as well as the global population. 

Ambitious

We inspire each other by offering hope and encouragement and by setting a good example through our own behaviours. We are creative and innovative and use our special talents to express original ideas and solve problems. We always strive to be the very best that we can be. We show endurance, resilience and hope by persevering in all things. We don't fear making mistakes because we know that this is part of the learning process. We have 'growth mindsets' and believe that anything is possible with hard work and commitment. 

Active Learners

We are active, independent learners and people. We show courage by never giving up, going for our goals and standing up for what we believe to be right. We are confident in our own abilities and willing to try new things, as well as being confident in those around us. We teach the children about significant individuals from history who through courage and perseverance have influenced the political and social life of Britain and those who have also powerfully informed our values and culture..

Responsible 

We take responsibility for our learning and our actions. We are honest and understand that knowing the difference between right and wrong will be of only partial use if we do not have the courage to speak the truth and do what is right. We understand that a person’s understanding of the truth and truthfulness will sometimes be influenced by their religious and cultural experiences.

Good Communicators

We are supportive, warm, friendly and caring and show our respect and friendship towards others at all times. We are approachable and willing to listen and show that we go the extra mile to help and be of service to others. We are confident to speak our minds and respectful of the many differing views of others. We have opportunities to learn new vocabulary and to apply it in context in many different areas of the curriculum.
