“Our school is a community where children and families come first and learning is fun. People work and play together, respect and care for one another to ensure a bright future for every child”

Children and families come first

We will build positive relationships with our families and children, sharing information about children’s progress and development.

We will build positive relationships with children, taking an interest in and supporting their learning.

Learning is fun

We will work in partnership with parents to share our ideas about how children learn and what their interests are.

We will nurture the development of positive attitudes to learning that support children in their life long development.

People work and play together

People respect and care for one another
