Our vision is to create an environment in which every child and adult develops their potential. Our school will be a place where enjoyment and achievement go hand in hand. We will create a calm, safe and encouraging setting in which young children can flourish, confident that they are valued. Everyone will be respectful and considerate, valuing the differences of ability, race, religion and gender. Children and adults will be encouraged to make a positive contribution to the school and the wider community, taking responsibility for their own actions. We will provide a holistic education with learning opportunities to develop the moral, social, spiritual, creative and intellectual aspects of every individual. Our curriculum will promote a healthy lifestyle using resources both within the school and its grounds to maximise opportunities for everyone. Through our use of ICT across the curriculum and throughout the school we will promote a computer literate and technological community. Working in co-operation with parents we will provide the best possible start to school life for all our children, enabling them to become healthy, confident, caring and successful members of society in the future.
