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.
