As a small village primary school we know each pupil as an individual. This is a school where every child really does matter. Our strong personal relationships with pupils are built on the foundations of trust, honesty, mutual respect and openess. We believe that our pupils are on an exciting journey of discovery about themselves, other people and the world they live in. To support this we work hard to create a safe, welcoming and stimulating learning environment. Our ethos is based on support, challenge and encouragement in which we have high expectations of all our children.
By providing an interesting, exciting and creative curriculum we want children to develop the confidence to develop all their abilities happily and in so doing, gain an understanding of themselves as learners. It is important to us that our school is a place where children show concern, adopt open and positive attitudes to themselves and others. We want to prepare them to be useful, respectful citizens so they can play a positive role in their community. We encourage care and respect for other people, their faiths and traditions. We help children develop lively enquiring minds to make decisions which affect their future and to understand other people's points of view. We have a professional, dedicated and caring whole staff team. Our belief is that we can make most improvement by working together. We genuinely put the childrens' needs first in all decisions that we take. There is obviously no such thing as the perfect school. However, we are a school which knows its strengths and weaknesses and strives for continuous improvements in all that we do.
