Ethos and Aims

Our Ethos

The School’s ethos is founded in a number of core beliefs which underpin its relationship with members of its own community and society in general.

• • A safe, caring and happy environment is the essential foundation for a child’s development.
  • Each child is an individual with their own unique blend of abilities, needs, ideas and aspirations, and should be nurtured as such.
  • Each child deserves the opportunity to achieve their full potential in every field of endeavour.
  • Education is an exciting, fulfilling, life-long process which we are privileged to guide in its early stages.
  • Respect, fairness, tolerance and compassion should always characterise our approach towards others.
  • Service to the wider community is central to our outlook.
  • Religious, cultural and social diversity is to be valued and celebrated.
