OUR MISSION STATEMENT, VISION AND VALUES

 

All the Staff have been working hard over the last half term to set the direction of the school and to really understand and encapsulate who we are and what we are about.  We have put together a new Mission Statement for our school:

 

Inspiring young minds, creating learners for life

 

We felt that this summed up what we are aiming to do in school every day and we hope that you feel it is a fitting statement for us.

 

Alongside this we have developed a clear vision for the future of the school and a set of values and behaviours that we will aim to demonstrate in order to achieve our vision. These are also on display in the entrance of school.
