Our ethos here is simple. In a warm, loving environment we believe happy and successful human-beings have a ‘can-do’ view of the world and of themselves, where there are endless possibilities and choices to be discovered. Where you are self-motivated to be the best version of yourself, striving to improve and able to recognise the milestones which show that you are growing and improving in your knowledge and skills but moreover, in your personal growth as a friend, in your own self-reflection, as a caring citizen of our planet and resilient solution-creator in its broadest sense.

Our core values are at the heart of everything:

• Love - Love and care of yourself, for others and for our things.
• Trust - In yourself and be honest with others, true to your word.
• Respect - For yourself – doing your best and having time for other people.
• Curiosity - Be open to possibilities and not make assumptions about others. Where could your life and dreams take you?

These are core skills and qualities we teach:

• Independence
• Empathy
• Co-operations
• Resilience
• Honesty
• Inquisitiveness
• Kindness
• Positivity (in thoughts and words said about yourself, others and situations)
• Self-awareness
• Knowing how and where to find help and solutions.

We believe every child can exceed their wildest dreams and we aim to encourage children to seek healthy challenge in all they do. We never put a ‘ceiling’ on how far children can go in their learning and strive to deepen their understanding and thinking. We use and teach yoga, meditation and self-awareness techniques to equip children with the tools to maintain balance in their well-being throughout their lives. Being in a growth-mindset as much as possible is a key to this.

We are tireless in our own reflection on reviewing, adapting and improving the impact on learning during lesson times.
