Throughout our learning journey we strive to provide a wide range of
possibilities which will help our children to develop aspirations and
promote independence for their future lives.
Creativity underpins all areas of learning in our curriculum. We want children to
be enthusiastic and innovative and to develop these qualities through all subjects,
not just the arts.
The community provides a wealth of learning opportunities. Our curriculum uses
these, and we strive to instil a sense of pride in our children and develop them as
kind and confident citizens. We are respectful.
