• Ensuring all children participate in a variety of trips and visitors in their local and wider community.
• Acting as role models who respect others and enjoy the rich diversity of our school family.
• Insisting that every child is known well, safe and nurtured to achieve their personal best.

We aim to inspire and empower our staff by:

• Providing a wide range of relevant and innovative professional learning in school which focuses on collaboration and sharing good practice, including lesson study, planning support, team teacher and action research.
• Forging strong links with external agencies to deliver professional development - teaching schools, higher education institutes etc.
