Our Aims

As a Rights Respecting School, we strive to nurture well-rounded individuals by fostering:

• Strong values and positive behaviours for learning.
• Social and play skills that build meaningful relationships.
• Good mental and physical health to support lifelong well-being.

Through collaboration, every child has access to a curriculum rich in essential skills, knowledge, and vocabulary, ensuring their success.

By nurturing excellence together, we prepare our children to:

• Understand their role in the world.
• Take responsibility for their actions.
• Make a positive difference in their communities and beyond.

This shared commitment unites every member of our school community to bring this vision to life.

Curriculum Development

Our curriculum leads worked collaboratively to translate this vision into a meaningful and impactful curriculum. Together, we ensure that every child experiences a learning journey grounded in excellence and shared growth.

In Our Curriculum

Our curriculum reflects our commitment to nurturing excellence together by:

• Developing Learning Attitudes: We foster creativity, independence, collaboration, inquiry, problem-solving, and thoughtful risk-taking.
• Ensuring High Standards: Children are guided through a progression of high-quality subject skills, knowledge, and vocabulary, empowering them to succeed academically and personally.
• Connecting to ‘Our World’: Teaching is rooted in exploring our diverse cultures, understanding history, and recognizing our roles in shaping the present and future.

Through this shared approach, we cultivate a learning environment where excellence is nurtured, and every child thrives.
