Our Vision and Core values

Our vision was refreshed in 2023, after consultation with our children, staff and parents. Our learners told us that they felt very strongly about feeling both safe and happy at school. We aspire to the empowerment of our entire school community, so that everyone's voice can be heard and so that all can have a part to play in the life and learning within our school.

Our values were also refreshed in 2023. We encourage everyone in our school community to demonstrate these values and they are celebrated each week in assembly. Children are awarded Core Values stickers and aim to complete their core values chart.

In October 2024, we held a competition to create 6 Core Values Creatures. These are shown below. The children also decided what these creatures would do and say. These creatures help our children to understand how to demonstrate and develop our core values within themselves.
