The school environment, organisation and teaching are based upon the following agreed aims and values, which underpin the whole work of the school.

• 1
  To create a secure and caring atmosphere in which learning can take place successfully. We believe it is important that each child feels happy at school and anticipates coming to school with interest and enthusiasm.
• 2
  To monitor and assess the progress and ability of each child and thereby establish his/her individual needs across the curriculum and match these needs so that each child may realize their full potential.
• 3
  To foster the child's interest in the world around them and to develop a love of learning so that each child works with purpose, enjoyment and a pride in his/her achievements.
• 4
  To encourage children to develop lively, inquiring minds capable of a range of learning and thinking strategies, such as the ability to question, solve problems, gather, interpret and organize knowledge, think logically and make reasoned judgement's; record and communicate information, at a level appropriate to their age and ability.
• 5
  To develop and maintain a climate of co-operation, respect, understanding and confidence. Through working together within the school community, we encourage children to develop positive moral values and qualities and become progressively more aware of themselves as responsible members of the school community.
• 6
  To ensure that the school environment is one within which the children feel valued as individuals, have confidence in their own capabilities and are encouraged to develop as full as possible their own talents and interests. In this way each child can be personally enriched as well as contribute to a changing and developing society.
• 7
  To ensure that every child is given equal opportunity to benefit from a broad and balanced curriculum, which actively involves children in their learning and promotes the highest possible standards of academic achievement.
