Our Vision, Culture
and Strategy
As a school, we want our children to have a strong sense of identity and belonging.
We want them to be empowered with the knowledge, skills and confidence to be able to make an impact on the future by understanding the past and the world they inherit.
In order to do this, we strive to develop in them a curiosity for the world in which they live, a love of learning and be able to work collaboratively whilst expressing their individuality with confidence.
In this way, we deliver a enquiry curriculum that encourages our learners and staff to question the purpose of the learning and develop meaningful projects which will have an impact on the world around us.
​
We value every child for who they are and prepare them for everything they could be.
Our Vision
​
For us, education is about:
-
Raising aspirations. Preparing our children to succeed in a modern world; supporting and empowering children to see challenge as an opportunity and mistakes as valuable.
-
Understanding their identify and widening perspectives. Developing in children an understanding of themselves, of others and of their place in the world.
-
The joy of discovery and the expression of individuality; nurturing in children a sense of wonder, triggering their curiosity and enabling them to use the power of their imagination.
We want our children to:
-
Thrive. We want them to feel safe in a calm and supportive environment so they are ready to learn and exceed their own expectations.
-
Be engaged and involved in their learning. Be committed to learning and take pride in their achievements.
-
Work together in an environment where diversity, equity and inclusion go hand in hand
​
For us it’s about togetherness. It’s about inspiring a community to achieve success.
