Our aims

Our aims are:

For children to be independent learners and thinkers

To provide a fun, varied and appropriate curriculum for all
For children to value themselves
To foster a sense of belonging to a community where home and school work hand in hand
To learn and use skills that will help everyone become good citizens

We believe in celebrating success in all areas of the lives of our children.

“Good, better, best. Never let it rest. ‘Til your good is better and your better is best.”
St. Jerome
