Our Ethos<\/h2>\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

The School\u2019s ethos is founded in a number of core beliefs which underpin its relationship with members of its own community and society in general.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n
      \n
    • A safe, caring and happy environment is the essential foundation for a child\u2019s development.<\/li>\n
    • Each child is an individual with their own unique blend of abilities, needs, ideas and aspirations, and should be nurtured as such.<\/li>\n
    • Each child deserves the opportunity to achieve their full potential in every field of endeavour.<\/li>\n
    • Education is an exciting, fulfilling, life-long process which we are privileged to guide in its early stages.<\/li>\n
    • Respect, fairness, tolerance and compassion should always characterise our approach towards others.<\/li>\n
    • Service to the wider community is central to our outlook.<\/li>\n
    • Religious, cultural and social diversity is to be valued and celebrated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Our Aims<\/h2>\n
      \n

       <\/p>\n

      In seeking to give full effect to its ethos, the school aims to do the following:\u00a0<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n
          \n
        • To foster a culture in which the safeguarding of each child is paramount.<\/li>\n
        • To promote a positive, supportive, family atmosphere which empowers each child to learn, develop and thrive.<\/li>\n
        • To provide pastoral care which supports and nurtures each child as an individual.<\/li>\n
        • To encourage and challenge each child to develop fully their skills and interests, whilst ensuring that they are not afraid to make mistakes.<\/li>\n
        • To fuel each child\u2019s passion for learning with a curriculum which is stimulating, exciting and challenging.<\/li>\n
        • To encourage independent thought and intellectual curiosity.<\/li>\n
        • To emphasise in every area of school life the importance of honesty, good manners, goodwill and mutual respect.<\/li>\n
        • To inspire each child to be a caring and responsible citizen who strives to make a positive contribution to the community.<\/li>\n
        • To acknowledge and celebrate the rich diversity of religious, cultural and social backgrounds within the school community and beyond.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
