School Philosophy & Golden Values
1) Provide a rich, varied and memorable curriculum, inspired by stimulating teaching that enables every child to achieve excellence in all areas of school life and make the progress they are capable of
2) Recognise the uniqueness of each individual child and nurture them and their gifts and talents.
3)Promote children's physical, emotional health and well being and develop their personal, moral, spiritual and social skills.
4) Encourage strong partnership within and across the community so that all staff, pupils, parents and community members feel welcomed, involved and included.
5) Develop an appreciation for the world in which we live, enabling all to recognise and celebrate diversity, develop tolerance and mutual respect, by encouraging children to think of others first and take an active and constructive place in society.
Our Aims
Our whole school philosophy is built around fostering happy, respectful, responsible and successful learners. As a community primary school, we are very keen to provide children with a well-rounded education that reflects the values of this country (Democracy, Rule of Law, Tolerance, Respect & Liberty) to help prepare them for the wider world.
School Philosophy
Our house names are inspired by local history.
Children sign up to the Golden Values at the start of year. They were first created along with pupils, staff, governors and other stakeholders.
By following the Golden Values children participate in end of half term rewards. Our final Golden Values trip of 2018-19 was to the Bear Trail.
Our house names are inspired by local history.
