They will be suitably challenged to develop academically, physically, creatively, socially, spiritually, culturally and morally to become healthy, lifelong learners. Our pupils will have many and varied opportunities to participate in activities beyond the curriculum. All pupils and staff will be proud of themselves, their school and their achievements. All members of the school community will show respect for one another.

Our environment will be welcoming, stimulating and well ordered. All members of the school community will respect the working environment and will be keen to maintain and develop it. The children will enjoy accessing the outdoor environment to enhance their learning.
