* ensure all pupils are encouraged and supported in reaching their potential as learners,
* provide all children with a broad, balanced curriculum relevant to their needs and abilities,
* develop children as caring sensitive and tolerant individuals who have a clear understanding of right and wrong,
introduce children to a wide range of experiences and challenges which motivate and enrich their learning, now and in the future,
* have high expectation of all children in terms of learning and behaviour,
* value all children equally, upholding their rights regardless of gender, ability, disability, colour or race,
* promote a strong partnership with parents based on shared information and responsibility for children’s learning,
