Our Values
Care
We care for ourselves, for each other, for the people in our local community and in the world beyond. We celebrate success, support those who face difficulties and value everyone for who they are and for their different contributions to our school life.

Creativity
We are creative in our approach to learning in the classroom, in our outdoor space and through developing skills in forest school. Our children express themselves, not only through the written and spoken word, but also through music, dance, drama, art and crafts.

Courage
Our children have the courage to face mental and physical challenges in their learning and in their lives. They have the staying power to succeed by being adaptable and inventive, and by working together to overcome the problems encountered along the way.
