Our Values, Our Aims

Our Mission Statement:

“Inspiring learning; nurturing minds; achieving for life.”

Our Core Values:

Curiosity, teamwork, fairness and resilience.

Core Values

The school promotes four core values throughout its curriculum and daily life:

• Curiosity – Encouraging children to explore and develop a love for learning.
• Teamwork – Teaching collaboration and communication skills.
• Fairness – Instilling responsibility and respect for others.
• Resilience – Helping pupils persevere through challenges.

Our core values remain at the heart of school life, guiding both children and adults in how we learn, work, and interact every day.

Curriculum Aims

Provide a broad, balanced, creative, and evolving curriculum that excites children about the world.  Our bespoke curriculum builds on the statutory national curriculum; exciting children about the world around them, challenging them to achieve their potential by introducing children to the best of what has been thought and said, engendering an appreciation of human creativity and achievement, whilst preparing them for the opportunities, experiences and responsibilities of later life. We prepare the children for future opportunities and responsibilities by developing knowledge, skills, and cultural capital.  We equip our children with personal and social skills through our Hearts and Minds currciuclum, enabling them to handle social situations and identify risks.  We most certainly emphasise spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development alongside academic achievement.

At our school, every child’s voice matters. They are empowered to shape decisions, knowing they are respected, valued by everyone, and truly make a difference.

End Goal

By the time pupils leave Year 6, they should:

• Be confident, articulate, and well-rounded individuals.
• Have a lifelong thirst for learning.
• Be ready for secondary school with strong academic foundations and personal development.

What did Ofsted say about our core values (March, 2024)?

• “The pupils strive to live up to the school’s values of fairness, resilience, teamwork and curiosity.”
• “Pupils said that they have a strong voice in school and that they use this to stand up for what is right.”
• “Pupils take on leadership roles, such as acting as school councillors and eco-council members.”
• “They plan and deliver assemblies on topics such as protecting the world’s oceans or keeping pupils safe.”
• “This rich offer provides the knowledge and skills that pupils need to become successful and active citizens of modern-day Britain.”

These four animals represent our core values that we promote throughout our school and in all our learning.
