Vision & Values

We have high expectations for every child, and we are proud of all that our children achieve. Our continuing aim is to provide each child with challenging, rewarding and enjoyable learning experiences within the caring ethos of our school and to ensure that all children feel safe, valued and listened to and can therefore thrive socially, emotionally and academically.

We aim to empower children to acquire, demonstrate, articulate and value knowledge and skills that will support them as life-long learners.  We will do this by providing a broad and balanced education that offers challenge in a safe and stimulating environment and through the core values of our school: positivity, respect, integrity, determination and empathy.

We aim to:

• Value individual efforts and achievements to develop every child’s self-esteem and self-confidence.
• Promote health related activities to enhance the development of every child’s physical and emotional wellbeing.
• Provide a broad, balanced and engaging curriculum which supports every child to be resilient in their approach to learning and innovative and articulate in their thinking.
• Provide a friendly, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where all children and adults are listened to, respected and feel supported.
• Foster high standards of achievement and encourage all children to strive for excellence.
• Develop an appreciation of the diversity of the world around us and an understanding of and respect for religious beliefs and moral values of other people and cultures as well as their own.
• Be welcoming and accessible to parents/carers; encourage partnerships with and value contributions from parents/carers and the community.
• Support our children to be kind, honest, and polite and to become caring responsible members of the school, the wider community and positive global citizens.
• Encourage children to take part in the range of extra-curricular activities provided.

We are delighted to be part of Meridian Trust, and our school is underpinned and supported by the ethos and values of the Trust.

The core of this philosophy is:

• Achievement for all
• Valuing People
• A high-quality learning environment
• The pursuit of excellence
• Extending the boundaries of learning
