To inspire confident learners who will thrive in a changing world.

Our vision and Christian values drive our moral purpose daily and ensure we live out our vision in all that we do. Our Christian foundation of “love your neighbour as yourself” help staff and pupils focus on making the right decisions, strive for high standards and help us fulfil our vision to see every child and adult flourish and meet their full potential.

“Love your neighbour as yourself.” Mark 12:31

By “loving your neighbour as yourself”, we strive to give children rich opportunities and broad learning experiences to enable them to flourish as unique individuals and appreciate, understand and value others, both in their local community and in the wider world.

Our aim is for our children to leave us in year 6 as confident, inspiring individuals who will care about themselves and the people and world around them, who will shares their knowledge and fortune with others and be inspired to life-long learning, as well as inspiring and enthusing those around them.
