We believe:
That our school is a central point in our community and our children should be prepared to become valuable, contributing members of that community. We work to the principle that no one knows what anybody's full potential is and so we aim to just keep reaching higher and higher for everyone.
We know that everyone is an individual and so we base everything we do on learning about individuals (children and adults), what they like, what they dislike, what they know and what they need to learn, and we try to provide them with exactly that.
We know that learning should be engaging and fun and while we know that challenging learning is not always comfortable, it is always supported in a way which grows our skills and confidence.
