We believe that all the members of our school community are unique and special individuals.  Our school will nurture everyone in their life-long journey to achieve their full and unique potential.  The members of our school will be empowered to take ownership of their role as citizens of the local and global communities.  We will celebrate self-worth, appreciate individual talents and achievements, and strive to understand and empathise with others.  We will demonstrate respect for all. 

Our aim is that all children have the right to a broad, balanced and relevant education which provides continuity and progression, considering individual differences.
