- Ambition and aspiration for all
- irrespective of background or barriers
- being truly inclusive - We will provide a strong pastoral system, led by our Form Tutors, in which our children take pride in caring for each other and the school community as a whole.
- We will maintain a clear and fair system for managing our pupils’ conduct, reward kind and positive behaviour and ensure that rules and consequences are well understood and consistently applied.
- We will take every opportunity to reinforce the good manners and respectful attitude we expect from our pupils and give our eldest pupils positions of responsibility through which they can be role models.
- We will promote a culture where children, through natural enthusiasm, contribute to the school and develop decision making skills which are used to contribute to the school’s development.
- We will develop and deliver a curriculum which is exciting, challenging and relevant, encompassing enrichment days, an integrated use of technology in the classroom and actively create opportunities for children to learn across subjects and year groups.
- We will recruit and retain teachers with a real passion for their subjects, provide them with support and training to continuously enhance their practice, and ensure they have the resources and equipment necessary to engage their classes and develop independent learners.
- We will provide opportunities for all our pupils to excel, through the curriculum, sports, creative arts and through a broad range of extra-curricular activities, and support them to achieve their goals.
- We will build our pupils’ confidence in the classroom, on the sports pitch, on stage and in the playground, encouraging them to use their initiative, build skills, knowledge and understanding and to recognise the value of learning from mistakes.
- We will maintain close links with independent, state and grammar senior schools and help parents to identify and secure entry to the most appropriate senior school for their child, tailoring our support to the specific requirements of each child.
- We will develop children’s ability to work both independently and collaboratively, showing self-discipline, communication and leadership skills to prepare them for life in the wider world.
- We will ensure our Year 6 leavers are confident, resilient, well prepared and excited about taking the next step into senior school.
