Our aims

Our aims are:

For children to be independent learners and thinkers
To promote curiosity and inspire a love of learning
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

We are proud that our aims tie-in closely with our sponsor’s aims and mission:-

“Our mission is to become the Trust that makes the biggest difference, both inside and outside the classroom.” – Ormiston Academies Trust

We are a values-led organisation, and it is our aim that we continually challenge ourselves to adhere to the spirit of our values:

Anyone can excel
Enjoy the challenge
Share what is best
Be inclusive
