We are committed to create the very best opportunities for learning and achievement for all pupils. Staff and children work in partnership with parents, governors, church and community to create a happy, safe, caring and stimulating environment.

Children are taught as individuals, in small group and classes, and their learning is assessed regularly so that support and challenge are given where appropriate.

It is important to us that as well as achieving, our children enjoy their time in school and feel safe.

We believe that fun and learning should go hand in hand and that every child will learn and develop through a creative and enjoyable curriculum. Starting in our Reception class and progressing through to our Year 6 children, enjoyment and achievement is at the heart of what we do.

We strongly believe that we must deliver an inspiring curriculum that is fit for today’s pupils and also meets their needs for the future. We have invested in technology to support our childrens’ learning and we encourage extensive and creative use of ICT. Children use digital and video cameras to record and extend their learning and every class is equipped with an interactive whiteboard and networked computers.

Educational visits and visitors into school focus and underline the children’s understanding of the work we cover.

Events throughout the school year give further opportunities for children to display their talents. School productions with singing, dancing and acting give both children and parents memories that will last forever.

Our strong links to the local family of schools ensure that the curriculum is further enriched, enabling us to provide a wide range of sporting activities.

We appreciate and value the uniqueness of each individual and nurture these personal and individual gifts.

Our special Christian identity is demonstrated in the values we share and in the relationships that all members of the school community have with one another.

We are inclusive and welcome others regardless of differences; all individuals are respected, supported and nurtured.

We give to others the tolerance, understanding and forgiveness that we would want for ourselves.
