School Ethos

At James McFarlane School we believe that:

We aim to meet the individual needs of each pupil through the provision of a co-ordinated range of professional services and a broad and balanced curriculum which reflects current best practice and promotes curricular innovation and high quality professional development within a safe, caring and inclusive school environment.

In partnership with parents, local agencies and the wider school community, we aim to help all children reach their full potential by being successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and successful learners and take their rightful place in society.

The school’s philosophy of education is interpreted in its widest sense: to create a health promoting learning environment for all members of staff and pupils.
