Aims, Values and Ethos
Our ethos is that ‘the individual counts’ and this is reflected in every aspect of school life. We accept pupils of all abilities in both Junior and Senior school and our emphasis is placed on providing each with an opportunity to fulfil their potential both academically and in terms of personal development. To this end, our curriculum is wide and varied and pupil and parental choices are always considered. We fully appreciate that each child is different and that they learn in different ways; at different rates and that their social skills and confidence may vary.
We are totally inclusive and all pupils are able to access a wide curriculum. For pupils who require extra support, our Learning Support Department provides both in class support and interventions in line with EHCP requirements. Each pupil’s needs are considered carefully; we are not a ‘one size fits all’ school!
We adopt a ‘whole child ‘approach at all times and our nurturing environment and small size means that all pupils are known personally. They are actively encouraged to take on positions of responsibility and to engage fully in the wider aspects of school life such as in sport, music, drama, the Duke of Edinburgh scheme and National Arts Award. Our primary concern is that our pupils leave us with high self esteem, confidence, awareness and consideration for others and the best academic results they can achieve.
