We will teach to promote the highest standards each child can achieve, particularly in speaking and listening, literacy, numeracy and ICT.
We will teach a rich, broad curriculum which values the creative, imaginative, physical and spiritual impulse in every child.
We will teach a curriculum which raises children’s awareness of their own health, their role as citizens in a diverse society, and their understanding of the environment.
Pastoral
We aim to create a safe, caring and tolerant school community where every child is valued as an individual and everyone’s cultural background is celebrated.
We expect pupils to understand that there are clear expectations of their behaviour and to respond accordingly.
The school’s ethos will be positive, stimulating and happy.
Pupil attitudes
We aim to create the following qualities in children, so that they want to learn and are able to learn for themselves:
Confidence and high self esteem
Self-discipline and independence
Co-operation and a willingness to listen to others
Parents and the wider community
We value parents and carers as partners in their children’s education. We aim to communicate clearly, listen carefully and consult frequently with all parents.
This school is at the heart of a diverse urban community. We aim to foster good relationships for the benefit of all.
