Aims – Spirituality Aspiration Innovation Diversity
- Spirituality: We aim to teach Christian values to our children, inviting them to build their own lives upon them. We aim to be an inclusive family, inspired by gospel values through service to others and through coming to know Jesus better through their learning, through worship and through the daily life of the school.
- Aspiration: We aim to develop aspirational, creative and curious learners who embrace challenge and recognise this as essential to their growth. We aim to help children develop high self-esteem, confidence and a strong sense of identity
- Innovation: We aim to provide an environment in which children can confidently explore, build on and share new ideas so that they can become the innovators of the future. We aim to inspire learning with a wide and innovative curriculum.
- Diversity: We aim to teach every child to embrace and value diversity in themselves and others. We aim to be a happy, welcoming and caring school where we recognise, affirm and develop the unique gifts and talents of each individual.
