Prioritise the wellbeing, resilience and achievements of all children and staff and put this at the heart of all decisions.
Create a stimulating school learning environment, including our outdoor play and learning environment (OPAL), encouraging enquiring minds and the development of lifelong learning skills and attitudes.
Demand ambitious standards for all pupils, overcoming disadvantage and advancing equality, instilling a strong sense of ownership and accountability from staff for the impact their work has on pupils’ outcomes.

Be visible and accessible, engaging positively with children, staff, parents, Governors, and the community.
Provide an inclusive safe, calm, and well-ordered environment for all pupils and staff, focused on safeguarding pupils and developing their exemplary behaviour in school and in the wider society.
With Governors, evaluate the school’s performance and identify the priorities for continuous improvement and raising of standards.
Develop an outward-facing school capable of collaborating in partnership with other schools and organisations to champion best practices and excellent outcomes for pupils.
Ensure that the child protection and safeguarding policies and procedures adopted by the governing body are fully implemented and followed by all staff.
