Our school vision is for every child and member of the school community to 'Belong, Believe, Be Happy'.

This underpins our whole school ethos and curriculum Rationale.

Our School Values are:

• Care
• Ambition
• Respect
• Equity

The Aims of our school are the 7 Habits:

• To be proactive
• Put first things first
• Begin with end in mind
• Think win/win
• Seek first to understand, then to be understood
• Synergise
• Sharpen the saw

All your pupils and families learn about these 7 Habits and how to use them to be happy and successful.

We believe that everyone is a leader and strive to develop leadership in all of our classes, to enable them to take control of their happiness and future ambitions.

If you want to know more about the 7 Habits in our school, our young leaders will be happy to share their Leadership Notebooks with you.
