The staff and governors have agreed our Vision Statement for the school as:-

“The school’s aim is for the achievement of the highest possible standards by all our  children within a friendly, secure, caring Christian environment where everyone is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential”.

To achieve our vision we will :-

• Promote the highest standards of teaching and learning to enable all our children to achieve and maintain their full potential in all areas of their development.
• To develop good self esteem and confidence.
• Create a school where children are well behaved, showing respect to each other and to all members of the school community and their environment.
• Continue to develop the skills of all our staff to enhance the quality of teaching and learning.
• To provide a secure, safe and stimulating environment to everyone with effective and efficient deployment of resources.
• Develop the skills and knowledge of our governors to lead the school forward in close partnership with the Headteacher and all the staff.
• Promote the success of the school to the wider community and encourage parents/carers to play an active and effective role in their child’s education.

In Conclusion

We believe that our school must be a happy, caring place where friendliness, respect and understanding exist between staff, children, parents and governors and all the children have equal access to the curriculum embedded within a strong Christian ethos.
