Objectives

We endeavour to create a stimulating, secure, caring, safe and happy environment within which our children feel needed and can gain self respect/self esteem, and at the same time, a respect for the needs of others.

Within this environment the high expectations, diligence, enthusiasm and compassion shown by staff and other adults will promote a similar attitude from our children.

The curriculum we provide will offer breadth and balance and will include provision for pupil's spiritual and moral development and an understanding of the needs of others.

The education we offer is such that all children, with their individual needs, will be catered for.

Working with the local community and partners from industry the school will promote a wider awareness of the roles and responsibilities of the individual within society and the range of opportunities available.

Resources from the local community and partners in industry will be utilised to assist learning and understanding.

The school will encourage the professional development of all teaching staff as well as training for governors, based on the needs of the school as well as the needs of individuals.
