We continually strive to find the sparks, hooks and springboards that engage enthusiasm and imagination which leads to progress and fulfilment. We aspire to be an extraordinary place to learn. A place that is built around our core values of mutual respect, trust, loyalty and cooperation. We understand that each learner is a unique individual with unlimited potential. We endeavour to create a school where everyone is valued and where we can embrace both diversity and those things that join us together. We aspire to be a place where everyone is able to achieve and enjoy learning and expect their success to be celebrated. We aim to work with children, parents and the broader community to enrich opportunity, make progress, maximise attainment, build positive and lasting relationships and engage in a powerful learning journey that has a lifelong legacy. We aim to create a school that enjoys the confidence of the community and one in which children expect to learn and smile. The routes to this are:

• Provision of a rich, broad and relevant curriculum entitlement for each child
• Embedding innovation and creativity into learning
• Building a clear picture of the talents and passions of every learner
• Develop transferable learning skills that have enduring application
• Recognising and celebrating success and modelling key behaviours, traits and attitudes
• Living out our expectations of children as learners and young citizens every day
