• We respect and care for each other and value the diversity that exists among people, developing teamwork within school.
• Learning is engaging and challenging and fosters a sense of curiosity.
• Education is seen as a life-long experience.

Staff within school endeavour to foster an ethos of care,achievement, respect and inclusion. They have high

expectations for standards of behaviour and organise classrooms to provide safe, engaging and effective learning environments.
