Our school values underpin everything we do both within and beyond the school curriculum.

In line with the UNCRC, we believe that all children will flourish in a community that is polite, thoughtful and considerate. We encourage self-awareness and support children in order to develop their self-confidence. We provide opportunities for children to become more aware of their own strengths and those of others, supporting each other as they strive to overcome challenges. Everyone is treated as an equal and we help children foster a sense of right and wrong, make positive choices and consider the effect their actions have on others. We acknowledge and celebrate differences regardless of social, spiritual or cultural diversity.
We believe that everyone should take responsibility for their own learning and conduct. We will support and challenge each other to develop a strong commitment to lead open and honest lives, have consideration for others and develop a social and moral conscience. Children will feel prepared to meet the challenge of increasing responsibility as they achieve their next steps in learning and continue their journey through all stages of their education and into their future lives. They will develop a high moral and ethical code in order to take their place as responsible, caring members of the community and the wider world.
We believe that every child should strive to do their very best academically, socially and emotionally. We will provide opportunities for children to develop their skills and talents through all aspects of school life. We will encourage all children to develop a lifelong love of learning and the self-confidence and social skills needed to enable them to achieve success in the future.
We believe that every child should develop the ability to face and overcome adversity; to face the challenges of his or her world. Everyone faces adversities; no one is exempt. We strive to teach our children how to manage pressure, stress and worry by encouraging and building self-confidence and social confidence. Pupils should recognise and respect what others are feeling and develop empathy, altruism, confidence, self-esteem, optimism, and faith. We also help children to assess his or her own behaviour and to accept responsibility for his or her actions and their consequences.
We believe that every child should be encouraged to be open to new ideas and willing to look at things from different perspectives. In line with article 29 of the UNCRC, we will foster an environment where individuality and creativity are highly valued. We will facilitate the discovery of new ideas through exploration and experience, and promote freedom of expression. Children will have the confidence to take risks and explore alternative possibilities. They will seek out imaginative solutions to solving problems.
