OUR SCHOOL ETHOS AND VALUES GENERAL PHILOSOPHY AND AIMS
We believe that a school should have a happy, friendly, caring atmosphere where mutual respect and consideration for others go hand in hand with the pursuit of good standards and attitudes to work. Individual teachers take a major responsibility for the
social and educational welfare of pupils in their classes but everybody in school takes an active, caring interest in all the children in school.
AIMS
It is the overall aim of the school to create an atmosphere of friendliness and confidence where every member of the school community feels that they are appreciated, can realise their own potential and make the fullest contribution to the school with due regard to age, status and ability.
1. To provide each child with the skills and experience required to use, appreciate and enjoy language as a tool for communication, understanding and pleasure.
2. To provide skills and experiences to enable each child to apply mathematical skills and concepts with confidence and accuracy in a variety of situations.
3. To ensure a curiosity in, respect for and appreciation of the natural world.
4. To provide, encourage and develop, in each child, a set of moral values based on Christian principles and an awareness of themselves as individuals in the community and the world, and their potential for influencing events.
5. To encourage skills and aesthetic awareness, to express themselves through the media of Drama, Music and Art in all its forms.

8. To attempt to establish the school as a stable, dependable element in the lives of all members of the school community. To encourage parents to take an active, constructive role in their children's education and the life of the school.
