Each child is of equal value in our school community. We believe that every child is different and has his or her own special talents, interests and needs. Our aim is to provide for those needs within a supportive educational framework, by:
Developing the self-esteem of all members of the school community through the provision of positive and rewarding educational and social experiences.
Providing all children with a broad, balanced, relevant curriculum suited to their individual needs, which will enable them to acquire the necessary concepts, skills, knowledge, qualities and attitudes.
Through encouragement, support and high expectations help children to become motivated learners who achieve their potential intellectually, socially, physically, spiritually and emotionally.
Building on past experiences and ensuring continuity and progression in learning through liaison within the school and between schools as a preparation for the future.
Promoting effective learning through the use of appropriate teaching approaches.
Providing a fair framework of care and discipline which will enable children to develop the self-discipline necessary to show consideration, tolerance and respect of people and property.
Providing an attractive, well resourced working environment.
Strengthening the relationships between children, teachers, support staff, parents, governors and the wider community for the sake of the children.
Ensuring that these aims apply regardless of the age, gender, ability, ethnic origin or background of the child .

BUILDING LEARNING POWER
All learning in school is supported by 'Building Learning Power' by Guy Claxton, University of Bristol, which aims to help
children become effective independent learners. Pupils are
encouraged to make links between subjects, be reflective, work together in collaborative groups, develop strategies for 'when they are stuck', extend problem solving skills and understand themselves as learners. The school is currently working with other local schools with a 'Learning Network' to explore ways of extending the Learning 'Buzz' in schools.
