• Nurture and support everyone to achieve their full potential.

• Encourage children to become independent learners and thinkers.

• Equip children with the skills required for life-long learning ready to face the challenges of an ever-changing world.

• Enjoy learning, enjoy each other’s company, and enjoy challenge.

• Listen to every child and ensure that they feel safe, secure and happy.

• Value equally all members of the school community, encouraging kindness, politeness, honesty and respect.

• Ensure that staff understand and support the individual needs of their pupils.

• Value the partnership between home and school.

• Promote healthy living and working cooperatively.

• Promote the British values of mutual tolerance and respect.
