Ethos

Our Ethos, Curriculum, Working Practices and Environment will achieve these aims because:  - 

• Our ethos will value all children as individuals, raising self-esteem whenever we can and creating a positive atmosphere through our interactions with the children and each other.

• Our curriculum will be broad, balanced and creative with many opportunities for first-hand experiences. Teaching will take account of learning styles and all abilities. SATS will be important but so will the development of the whole child through the arts, and subjects such as PSHE, and striving to be a healthy school. We will try to teach the children life-skills to equip them for tomorrow’s world.

• We will be a performing and effective team who support each other and work for the positive development of our children.

• We will be open, honest and supportive of each other, setting positive examples to the children.

• Our environment will be attractive, calm, ordered, safe and stimulating.

• It will celebrate the achievements of the children and stimulate and support their learning.

• It will look bright, colourful and make an impact.

• We will develop positive relationships with parents and the wider community.
