Aims

The aims of our schools are the driving force behind our curriculum design, quality first teaching and learning environment.

Our three aims are to create:

  • Successful learners
  • Confident and healthy individuals
  • Responsible citizens

These aims are achieved primarily by the core values we have deeply ingrained within our schools. The Fundamental British values (defined by Ofsted) are explored during class and whole school teaching, including RSE, PATHS lessons and assemblies or collective worship.

We are also a Nurturing School, where providing the care, time and learning the children need to thrive- through class or individual intervention- has a direct positive impact on the progress of each child.

We have also selected a set of key values which support our aims robustly. These are:

  • Respect
  • Motivation
  • Kindness
  • Perseverance

By teaching our children how these values impact on their success and relationships, we can ensure our pupils are engaged in their own development, becoming active learners.
