School Aims And Objectives

Our aim is to create a happy, caring and co-operative school community, which celebrates learning in all of its forms. Staff, governors and parents will work together to develop capable, confident and tolerant members of society.

We have 5 guiding principles:

A Shared Ethos:

We apply strong universal values to everything we do in school.

Involving them in some decision-making will encourage their social development as future citizens

We expect excellent behaviour from everyone in school, positive rewards and fairly applied sanctions are used to promote this.

A caring attitude towards others leads to everyone’s feelings and beliefs being respected.

We aim to be a healthy school in our food and drink routines and the provision of regular physical activity

Teaching & Learning:

Our core purpose is to provide high quality Teaching and Learning. Children learn in many different ways so we aim to teach using many different styles:

We encourage children to have a growing awareness of their own learning through widespread use of the Building Learning Power framework and by applying the principles of Assessment for Learning within the classroom

Children learn individually, in pairs, in small groups or as a whole class

We maximise direct first hand learning whenever possible including our regular events
