Our Culture and Strategy

Our Vision and Culture

For us, education is about:

Ambition. The meaningful curriculum pathways are designed to widen perspectives and challenge and support every learner to achieve highly. Expectations for behaviour are high. We want all pupils to make good or better progress.

Curiosity. Our curriculum is designed to support children to understand their heritage and the world they live in, in order to inform the future. We aim to develop in our children the joy of discovery, a sense of wonder, and the power of their imagination.

Inclusion. We genuinely care and prioritise wellbeing. We strive to support children to develop a strong sense of identity and build self-esteem. We want our children to learn in a safe, calm and supportive environment.

Opportunity. We invest in memorable experiences that inspire children, build knowledge and character.

We want our children to:

Thrive. We want them to feel that school is a secure base where they belong. We want them to connect with each other, the adults and their learning.

Be respectful, resilient and responsible. Pupils are engaged in learning, they are encouraged to see challenge as opportunity and can make links to deepen knowledge and understanding.

Become active citizens. We strive to develop chidlren who are passionate about making a positive change in the world
