Mission Statement
In this school education is about learners experiencing the joy of discovery, solving problems, being creative in writing, art, music, developing their self‑confidence as learners and maturing socially and emotionally. This school will combine high standards with a broad, balanced and rich curriculum. Education will be the fusion of excellence and enjoyment. Learners do better when they are excited and engaged, when there is joy in what they are doing, they learn to love learning.
Literacy and numeracy will be the backbone of our pupils’ success in learning. We will build on our strengths to serve the needs of our children using the skills of everyone in the school. This school will drive its own improvement, set its own challenging targets and recognise that for the sake of our learners we can always do better.
Learning will be focused on individual pupils’ needs and abilities and we will develop
assessment for learning, which enables knowledge about individuals to inform the
way they are taught and learn.
Teachers and classroom assistants will provide a tailored approach to support learners with special educational needs, gifted and talented learners and minority ethnic groups. We will give extra support to the learners that need it most. We are an 'inclusive' school where all members of staff work hard in creating the right environment for each child.
We will build a partnership with parents by giving good information and by knitting the school into the fabric of their community.
We will provide activities outside school hours to extend and enrich learning.
The headteacher will put into place effective systems for quality assurance self evaluation that in school will promote high standards of behaviour by teaching positive behaviour to all learners.
